Results from a national survey on COVID-19-associated mucormycosis in Germany: 13 patients from six tertiary hospitals

Danila Seidel et al.

Summary: COVID-19-associated mucormycosis is rare in Germany, mostly reported in patients with comorbidities and impaired immune system who have severe COVID-19 and are treated in the ICU, with a high mortality rate. Compared to mainly rhino-orbito-cerebral CAM in patients with mild COVID-19 in India, the risk for CAM is higher in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

COVID-19-associated mucormycosis, diabetes and steroid therapy: Experience in a single centre in Western Mexico

Salvador Guzman-Castro et al.

Summary: This study described six cases of COVID-19-associated mucormycosis in a single center in Western Mexico, with most patients having diabetes and all receiving corticosteroid therapy. It was found that in this region, CAM was 300 times more frequent among COVID individuals than the estimates for the general population. Identifying individuals at risk and avoiding unnecessary corticosteroid use in non-severe COVID-19 cases could help prevent this complicated fungal infection.

Summary: Reports of COVID-19-associated mucormycosis, particularly among patients with uncontrolled diabetes, have been increasing since early 2021. Most patients with COVID-19-associated mucormycosis have uncontrolled diabetes and receive systemic corticosteroid treatment, and rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis is the most common disease. COVID-19-associated mucormycosis is associated with high mortality and a significant proportion of survivors experience life-changing morbidities.

Pulmonary aspergillosis and mucormycosis in a patient with COVID-19

Andre K. Johnson et al.

Summary: Invasive pulmonary mucormycosis and aspergillosis are rare and life-threatening fungal infections, often seen in patients with diabetes, neutropenia, or corticosteroid use. These infections are recognized as secondary complications of COVID-19, particularly in critically ill patients. This report presents the first case of combined probable pulmonary aspergillosis and possible mucormycosis in a male with COVID-19 in the ICU.

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.

Has the mortality from pulmonary mucormycosis changed over time? A systematic review and meta-analysis

Valliappan Muthu et al.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the mortality and trend of pulmonary mucormycosis (PM) in immunocompromised patients. Results showed that mortality of PM has improved over time, with combined medical-surgical therapy associated with lower mortality risk than medical treatment alone. Risk of death was higher in disseminated disease compared to isolated PM, while diabetes mellitus was not associated with higher mortality risk.

Summary: This study developed a new protocol for fungal identification from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues, using DNA extraction from 63 FFPE tissues with histopathologically confirmed invasive fungal infections (IFIs). The results showed that DNA yield was significantly higher with conventional PCI method compared to commercial kit, and PCR targeting ITS1 region had the best test accuracy among the different rDNA regions tested.

Guidance on Imaging for Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis and Mucormycosis: From the Imaging Working Group for the Revision and Update of the Consensus Definitions of Fungal Disease from the EORTC/MSGERC

Barbara D. Alexander et al.

Summary: Clinical imaging plays a crucial role in early detection and diagnosis of invasive fungal diseases (IFD). Volumetric high-resolution computed tomography (CT) is the preferred method for lung imaging, providing valuable diagnostic information. Certain radiologic patterns, such as the halo sign and reversed halo sign, can help differentiate between invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and pulmonary mucormycosis.

Observational studies indicated that diabetes, steroids, and Remdesivir were not linked to increased mortality, while active screening, lung involvement, and using antifungal medications reduced mortality risk. The use of liposomal amphotericin B (LAmB) was effective in treating CAM patients with positive outcomes.
