Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to understand the prevalence of secondary bacterial and fungal infections in hospitalized COVID-19 patients in India, and how these infections influence patient outcomes and control measures.
- A comprehensive analysis of electronic health records from 10 hospitals revealed that 9.8% of the 19,852 COVID-19 patients developed secondary infections, which were significantly more common in older patients and those with severe disease.
- The most frequent infections were urinary (41.7%) and blood-related (30.8%), with Gram-negative bacilli being the predominant pathogens, leading to increased hospitalization duration for affected patients.
