    AbstractAfter a resuscitation situation a SARS-CoV‑2 sample from a 55-year-old man who had been in the hospital for elective ablation for atrial fibrillation was tested positive. The patient history revealed that there had been a previous confirmed contact with a COVID-19 positive patient. The patient developed the complete set of symptoms of COVID-19 pneumonia with extensive intensive care treatment. After about 2 weeks of treatment, weaning had to be stopped due to the deterioration of the severe septic condition of the patient and he showed microbiological evidence of a superinfection with Cryptococcus neoformans and later Leclercia adecarboxylata. The patient was treated successfully and survived the disease.© 2021. Springer Medizin Verlag GmbH, ein Teil von Springer Nature.
