Article Synopsis
- This study analyzes the risk of fungal infections in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who are on immunosuppressive therapy, highlighting increased susceptibility among certain demographics, particularly Hispanic and Asian individuals, and those using steroids or with coexisting conditions like HIV or certain cancers.
- Researchers examined hospitalization data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) for patients diagnosed with both SLE and specific fungal infections from 2016 to 2020 to identify trends and risk factors.
- Findings revealed that female SLE patients had lower odds of fungal infections, while there were significant geographical variations in infection rates across the U.S., with a noted decline in hospitalization rates for non-SLE fungal infections during the study
