Bacterial/fungal infection in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in a tertiary hospital in the Community of Castilla y León, Spain.

Introduction: Bacterial/fungal coinfection and superinfections contribute to the increased morbi-mortality of viral respiratory infections (RIs). The main objective of this study was to determine the incidence of these infections in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

Method: Retrospective observational study of all patients admitted for COVID-19 and bacterial/fungal infections at the Hospital Clínico Universitario of Valladolid, Spain (March 1-May 31, 2020).

[Risk factors and clinical evolution of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in a university hospital in Spain. Case-control study].

Objective: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterias is a global health hazard due to their ease of transmission, difficulty of treatment, and their personal and economic impact. We analyze the factors associated with an increased risk of infection by Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing bacteria (KPC) and factors related to poor prognosis.

Methods: We designed a case-control study.
