Article Synopsis
- Invasive Fungal Infections (IFI) are emerging complications in critically ill COVID-19 patients, with a prevalence of 9.3% found in this study.
- The study, conducted in an ICU, identified related factors influencing IFIs, such as higher SOFA scores and the use of empirical antibiotics, particularly in cases of COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA).
- Despite a high prevalence of IFIs and significant mortality rates, there was no mortality difference observed among patients with these infections compared to matched controls.
Article Synopsis
- A significant portion of the 2022 mpox outbreak involved individuals with HIV, particularly those with low CD4 cell counts, suggesting the need to understand their clinical outcomes.
- Data from a network of clinicians across 19 countries was analyzed, focusing on adults living with HIV and CD4 counts below 350 cells per mm to assess their presentation and complications from mpox.
- Out of 382 cases analyzed, most individuals were men, with a median age of 35, and those with CD4 counts under 100 cells per mm experienced more severe complications, highlighting the risks associated with advanced HIV.
