Defining COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis: systematic review and meta-analysis

Ruwandi M. Kariyawasam et al.

Summary: The prevalence, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) are poorly understood, and there are discordant definitions across studies, potentially leading to an overestimation of reported prevalence.

Summary: COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) is a serious condition in critically ill patients. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on mechanically ventilated adult patients with COVID-19, and it was found that CAPA is associated with underlying pulmonary vascular and liver diseases. Patients with CAPA have worse outcomes, requiring longer time for improvement and longer hospital stays.

Summary: This study analyzed the 12-month prevalence of COVID-19-associated invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) in a German tertiary care hospital and characterized clinical A. fumigatus isolates from two German hospitals. The study found a similar CAPA prevalence to other reports and a low azole-resistance rate.

Summary: This study demonstrates a high prevalence of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and candidemia in mechanically ventilated patients with severe COVID-19, and a high mortality associated with pr/pb CAPA. These findings highlight the importance of active surveillance for fungal pathogens in patients with severe COVID-19.

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.

SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis

Mart M. Lamers et al.

Summary: This Review explores the recent clinical and experimental advancements in understanding the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2, its interactions with host cells, and the role of the immune system in the development of severe disease, with a focus on the mechanisms underlying COVID-19-associated ARDS. The findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 can infect the lower respiratory tract, causing alveolar damage and dysfunctional immune responses, leading to inflammation and immunopathology. These insights may contribute to the development of new therapeutic interventions against COVID-19.

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.

Summary: CAPA is a recognized complication of COVID-19 with a likely underestimated incidence, as observed in a retrospective study on patients admitted to ICU for respiratory insufficiency due to COVID-19. Greater awareness and more systematic testing for Aspergillus are necessary to accurately assess the real incidence and characteristics of CAPA.

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.

Summary: This study evaluated the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in critically ill patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Results showed that COVID-19 was independently associated with IPA, which had a high mortality rate. Standardized screening and diagnostic approaches can aid in early detection of IPA in affected patients.

Summary: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is increasingly reported in severe COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU. The diagnosis and management of COVID-19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) are challenging, with bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage as key diagnostic tools. Treatment includes antifungal therapy tailored to the individual patient's clinical condition.

Aspergillus Test Profiles and Mortality in Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients

Summary: Literature on COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis has conflicting observations, with some CAPA patients surviving without antifungal therapy and discrepancies between CAPA diagnosis and autopsy findings. A case-control study was conducted comparing Aspergillus test profiles in CAPA patients and controls. The study showed that positive serum GM and BDG were associated with increased mortality in CAPA patients, highlighting the need for biomarkers to differentiate between respiratory tract colonization and tissue-invasive CAPA disease.

Summary: Recent studies have shown a high prevalence of COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis among severely ill patients. This study, one of the largest multicenter epidemiological studies, explores the clinical features and prevalence of COVID-19-associated pulmonary mold infections among mechanically ventilated patients. Results suggest that CAPMI can be caused by species other than Aspergillus, highlighting the need for appropriate antifungal treatment in ICU-admitted COVID-19 patients.

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.
