Risk factors and outcome of pulmonary aspergillosis in critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 patients-a multinational observational study by the European Confederation of Medical Mycology

Juergen Prattes et al.

Summary: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) is a common complication among critically ill COVID-19 patients in ICU. It is more prevalent in older patients, those receiving invasive ventilation, and those receiving tocilizumab treatment. CAPA is an independent predictor of ICU mortality.

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.

Evaluation of Three Commercial PCR Assays for the Detection of Azole-Resistant Aspergillus fumigatus from Respiratory Samples of Immunocompromised Patients

Ulrike Scharmann et al.

Summary: This study compared three commercially available PCR assays for detecting Aspergillus DNA from respiratory specimens of immunocompromised patients and the presence of cyp51A gene mutations. The tested PCR assays were capable of reliably detecting A. fumigatus DNA and differentiating common cyp51A gene mutations. However, the AsperGenius(R) assay had a low risk of false positive results.

Azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus in the environment: Identifying key reservoirs and hotspots of antifungal resistance

Caroline Burks et al.

Summary: Aspergillus fumigatus, an opportunistic human pathogen, causes aspergillosis, with an increasing number of azole-resistant strains being reported globally. Azole-resistant A. fumigatus has been found on every continent except Antarctica, with Europe having the highest number of reports.

Genomic and Phenotypic Analysis of COVID-19-Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis Isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus

Jacob L. Steenwyk et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the genomes and phenotypic profiles of four COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus from patients in Germany, finding that these isolates were generally similar to other reference strains, but with some variations in virulence due to gene mutations. These findings contribute to expanding our understanding of COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis.

Multinational Observational Cohort Study of COVID-19-Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis1

Nico A. F. Janssen et al.

Summary: An observational study found an incidence of 10%-15% of coronavirus-disease associated pulmonary aspergillosis in intensive care units, with several factors independently associated with the disease in one cohort and mortality rates ranging from 43%-52%.

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.
