To our knowledge this is the first published case of NP associated with COVID-19 in an individual with CF and the first associated with Nocardia infection. We suspect the combination of cystic fibrosis, COVID-19 pneumonitis and co-infection with Nocardia farcinia caused this young man’s NP and ultimately his untimely death. We hope this case will highlight individuals with CF of all ages are at risk of severe COVID-19 infection.
