severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza are also viruses that can cause pneumonia. In this study, we aimed to determine the rate of influenza co-infection in Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) cases.Methods:The data of adult patients who applied to Bezmi...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated invasive fungal infections are an important complication in a substantial number of critically ill, hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Three groups of fungal pathogens cause co-infections in COVID-19: Aspergillus, Mucorales and Candida species, including...
Population-level data on COVID-19 vaccine uptake in pregnancy and SARS-CoV-2 infection outcomes are lacking. We describe COVID-19 vaccine uptake and SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnant women in Scotland, using whole-population data from a national, prospect
