A National Strategy to Diagnose Coronavirus Disease 2019-Associated Invasive Fungal Disease in the Intensive Care Unit

P. Lewis White et al.

Summary: Invasive fungal disease is common in critically ill COVID-19 patients, with 26.7% incidence rate including 14.1% aspergillosis and 12.6% yeast infections. Mortality rates are reduced with antifungal therapy, while corticosteroid use and history of chronic respiratory disease increase the likelihood of aspergillosis. Strategic diagnostic screening and antifungal prophylaxis may enhance the management of COVID-19 patients.

Christine J. Kubin et al.

Summary: In this study, 3028 adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19 were evaluated, with 17% of them experiencing secondary infections and 12% of them classified as health care-associated infections (HAIs). Gram-negative bacteria and fungi were the most common pathogens causing HAIs, and antibiotic resistance increased with prolonged hospital stays. Intensive care unit stay, mechanical ventilation, and steroid use were identified as risk factors for HAIs.
