Infection and mortality rates were much higher than those in the usual care group. Conclusion: Secondary infections and sepsis are major risk factors for mortality. The pathogens detected were drug resistant and had a lower chance of treatment. The benefit of TCZ t...
This was an extensive review of the current literature regarding co-infections and superinfections in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The definitions used were those of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US), which defines coinfection as one occurring concurrently with the initial ...
the current manuscript. Bengoechea and Bamford indicated that they envisioned three non-mutually exclusive scenarios of bacterial/SARS-CoV-2 co-infection; namely, secondary SARS-CoV-2 infection following initial bacterial infection or colonisation, combined viral/bacterial pneumonia, or secondary bacterial ...
Infections which develop alongside or subsequent to viral pneumonitis are a challenge under sporadic and pandemic conditions; however, data have suggested that patterns of these differ between COVID-19 and other viral pneumonitides. This secondary analysis aimed to explore patterns of co-infection and...
COVID-19 primarily presents as a respiratory tract infection with symptoms varying from mild flu-like illness to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [2, 3]. Viral-related respiratory infections belonging to the same family of coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory ...
we retrospectively compared secon-dary infection rates on ECMO for patients with COVID-19 topatients with influenza. Although both viruses can cause devas-tating pulmonary disease, unlike influenza, patients hospitalizedwith COVID-19 are treated with immunosuppression.Additionally, COVID-19 has been as...
These findings suggest that higher pre-infection HONOS scores may be associated with subsequent death from COVID-19, but that these items are largely explained by age and diagnosis (of dementia). We are therefore cautious about whether HoNOS, on its own, can be used as a reliable predictor...
COVID-19 can present with a wide variety of respiratory complications that range from self-limiting upper respiratory tract infection to acute respiratory failure from diffuse bilateral lung infiltrates, resulting in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).1, 2, 3 By their very nature, ...
infection in COVID-19 patients while on ICU. Within a few weeks we showed it can diagnose secondary infection, target antibiotic treatment and detect outbreaks much earlier than current technologies—all from a single sample. This will revolutionise our approach to prevention and treatment of ...
Secondary hyperhidrosis is a multifactorial condition that poses unique diagnostic and management challenges. Distinguishing secondary from primary hyperhidrosis remains difficult due to overlapping symptoms. This review consolidates existing evidence on the numerous underlying causes and pathophysiologic mechanisms ...
