Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis

Marie-Pierre Ledoux et al.

Summary: Cases of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis are increasing due to new risk factors and a wider range of patients at risk. The diagnosis of this disease has become more complex and relies on various imaging and laboratory techniques. Treatment options have improved, but there is still a need for new antifungal drugs.

Neurological and psychiatric risk trajectories after SARS-CoV-2 infection: an analysis of 2-year retrospective cohort studies including 1 284 437 patients

Maxime Taquet et al.

Summary: COVID-19 is associated with increased risks of neurological and psychiatric sequelae. The duration of these risks, their impact on children and adults, and the differences in risk profiles among SARS-CoV-2 variants remain unclear. A 2-year retrospective cohort study analyzed data from electronic health records of COVID-19 patients and found that the risk trajectories differed based on age and outcome. While the risk of mood and anxiety disorders returned to baseline after 1-2 months, the risks of cognitive deficit, dementia, psychotic disorders, and epilepsy or seizures remained increased at the end of the 2-year follow-up period. Children had a more benign overall profile of psychiatric risk but sustained higher risk for certain diagnoses. The findings highlight the importance of understanding the individual and population-level risks of neurological and psychiatric disorders after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Incidence and mortality of COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Hayato Mitaka et al.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the incidence and mortality of COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis in critically ill patients through systematic review and meta-analysis. The estimated incidence and mortality rates of CAPA in the ICU were 10.2% and 54.9%, respectively. Prospective cohort studies are needed to validate these findings and improve surveillance and prognostication in the ICU.
