Bronchoscopy safety precautions for diagnosing COVID-19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis-A simulation study

Philipp Koehler et al.

Summary: Through simulation experiments, it was found that there is extensive aerosol generation, droplet spread, and surface contamination during bronchoscopy. By repurposing covers for ultrasound transducers or endoscopic cameras to seal the tube opening during bronchoscopy in mechanically ventilated patients, exposure of health-care workers and surface contamination can be efficiently reduced.

Prevalence of opportunistic invasive aspergillosis in COVID-19 patients with severe pneumonia

Gonzalo Segrelles-Calvo et al.

Summary: As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread globally, the risk of invasive fungal infections as a coinfection poses a significant threat to severely ill patients. Larger cohort studies are necessary to investigate the impact of COVID-19 immunosuppressive therapy on the development of aspergillosis.

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in the COVID-19 era: An expected new entity

Marina Machado et al.

Summary: COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication in severe COVID-19 patients, especially those receiving corticosteroids. Mortality rate in reviewed cases is high at 56.3%.

COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis: a prospective single-center dual case series

Eelco F. J. Meijer et al.

Summary: CAPA has emerged as an invasive fungal disease affecting previously immunocompetent, mechanically ventilated ICU patients with high mortality. This study found a significant decrease in the number of COVID-19 patients needing mechanical ventilation in the ICU during the second wave, but a slightly higher percentage were diagnosed with CAPA. The use of dexamethasone did not show significant impact on CAPA incidence or mortality rates.

Invasive aspergillosis in critically ill patients: Review of definitions and diagnostic approaches

Jeffrey D. Jenks et al.

Summary: This review focuses on the epidemiology, definitions, diagnostic tests, clinical presentation, and imaging findings of invasive aspergillosis (IA) in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit, providing direction for further research.

Posaconazole for prevention of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in critically ill influenza patients (POSA-FLU): a randomised, open-label, proof-of-concept trial

Lore Vanderbeke et al.

Summary: IAPA is a common and significant complication in critically ill influenza patients, with high mortality despite timely antifungal therapy. Prophylaxis with intravenous posaconazole did not significantly reduce the incidence of IAPA compared to standard-of-care. Alternative management strategies are needed due to the high mortality associated with early IAPA and the potential benefits of prophylaxis in some patients after 48 hours.

Aspergillus fumigatus and aspergillosis: From basics to clinics

A. Arastehfar et al.

Summary: The airborne fungus Aspergillus fumigatus poses a serious health threat by causing invasive infections in humans, with frontline azole therapeutics being limited by the emergence of resistant isolates. The search for novel antifungal drugs to combat emerging resistance is ongoing, while advancements in genetic engineering and whole-genome sequencing are being explored to understand and address challenges caused by A. fumigatus.

COVID-19-Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis, March-August 2020

Jon Salmanton-Garcia et al.

Summary: This study found that most patients with coronavirus disease-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) are diagnosed shortly after admission, with the majority being treated in the ICU. Azole-resistant strains of Aspergillus fumigatus were common in patients, and voriconazole was the main treatment choice. The overall mortality rate was approximately 52.2%, with about one third of deaths attributed to CAPA.

Aspergillosis Complicating Severe Coronavirus Disease

Kieren A. Marr et al.

Summary: The syndromes of pulmonary aspergillosis complicating severe viral infections are distinct from classic invasive aspergillosis, which is recognized most frequently in persons with neutropenia and in other immunocompromised persons.
