[h=3]Abstract[/h] Invasive pulmonary aspsergillosis (IPA) is a well-known disease typically affecting severely immunocompromised patients. Recently, IPA has been described in a new group of patients such as those infected with influenza. In this report, we would like to present a case of pulmonary aspergillosis following influenza infection for the first time in Kuwait, and raise awareness about such unrecognized threatening co-infection.
