High Incidence of Candidemia in Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients Supported by Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Retrospective Study

Francesco Alessandri et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the incidence of bloodstream infections (BSI) due to Candida in COVID-19 patients supported with ECMO, and found that the incidence of candidemia was significantly higher in the ECMO group compared to the control group. This result was confirmed by survival analysis and multivariable analyses.

Predictive values of procalcitonin for coinfections in patients with COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Shanchen Wei et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the ability of procalcitonin (PCT) as a potential marker for coinfections in patients with COVID-19. The results showed that PCT has limited sensitivity and specificity in predicting coinfections, but lower PCT levels seem to indicate a decreased probability of having a coinfection.

Summary: The study evaluated the usefulness of procalcitonin as an immune biomarker for diagnosing bacterial superinfection in severe COVID-19 patients. However, the results showed that procalcitonin measurement was not effective in distinguishing bacterial infection.

Baseline procalcitonin as a predictor of bacterial infection and clinical outcomes in COVID-19: A case-control study

Natalie J. Atallah et al.

Summary: This study evaluates whether procalcitonin (PCT) can predict clinical outcome and bacterial superinfection in patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The results suggest that baseline PCT levels are associated with outcome and bacterial superinfection in patients hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections in an acute care hospital in Brazil

Matheus Polly et al.

Summary: The study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the overall incidence density of multidrug-resistant infections increased, with significant increases in CRAB and MRSA infections in ICU settings. Meanwhile, there was a decrease in CRE and CRP infections. Infection control teams should be vigilant about possible outbreaks of CRAB and MRSA and promote adherence to infection control measures as healthcare needs evolve during and after the pandemic.

A retrospective comparison of COVID-19 and seasonal influenza mortality and outcomes in the ICUs of a French university hospital

Donatien de Marignan et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the mortality and burden of COVID-19 and seasonal influenza pneumonia in ICUs in Lyon, France. The study found that despite COVID-19 patients being younger and having fewer comorbidities compared to influenza patients, the risk of death associated with COVID-19 was higher. The severity of illness and treatment requirements were also higher for COVID-19 patients.

The Prevalence and Impact of Coinfection and Superinfection on the Severity and Outcome of COVID-19 Infection: An Updated Literature Review

Samya A. Omoush et al.

Summary: Patients with COVID-19 are at higher risk of secondary infections, including bacterial coinfections. However, studies have yielded contradictory results regarding the impact of coinfection on the outcomes of COVID-19. This literature review aims to provide updated evidence on the prevalence, mechanisms, and impact of coinfection and superinfection among patients with SARS-CoV-2.

Incidence of Bacterial and Fungal Secondary Infections in COVID-19 Patients Admitted to the ICU

Afnan J. Alshrefy et al.

Summary: Secondary bacterial and fungal infections are common among COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU, with a predominance of gram-negative bacteria and Candida species. The development of secondary infections is significantly associated with invasive mechanical ventilation. Poor clinical outcomes have been observed, including prolonged hospital and ICU stays and higher mortality.

Clinical Utility of Procalcitonin on Antibiotic Stewardship: A Narrative Review

Jong Hun Kim

Summary: Procalcitonin (PCT) is a useful marker for bacterial infection, and clinical studies have shown that it can guide antibiotic treatment by stratified levels, leading to a reduction in antibiotic usage without adverse outcomes. It has been approved for guiding antibiotic treatment in sepsis and lower respiratory tract infections in the United States and Korea.

Summary: This study described the clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 patients who developed secondary infections due to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE). The results showed that most infections occurred in the ICU, and HAP/VAP was the strongest predictor of death, with a 30-day mortality rate of 33.3%.

Hospital-Acquired Infections in Critically Ill Patients With COVID-19

Giacomo Grasselli et al.

Summary: Critically ill patients with COVID-19 are at high risk for hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), especially ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by multidrug-resistant organisms. HAIs prolong mechanical ventilation and hospitalization, and those complicated by septic shock nearly double mortality rate.

Summary: The study retrospectively analyzed patients admitted with COVID-19 between March 6th and October 30th, 2020. It found that PCT and CRP levels may be helpful in differentiating secondary bacterial infections in patients with COVID-19.ROC analysis showed that PCT and CRP had high efficacy in identifying secondary bacterial infections, with specific cut-off values for optimal sensitivity and specificity.

Summary: Although PCT testing can be used as a predictor of bacterial co-infection and patient death, it did not provide significant added value in COVID-19 patients compared to other more common laboratory tests. Its major application lies in its ability to exclude bacterial co-infection with a high negative predictive value when a specific cut-off is applied.
