We evaluated clinical features, predisposing factors, diagnosis and outcomes for mucormycosis among patients with COVID-19 infection.
Methods: This prospective, observational, multi-centre study included 47 consecutive patients with mucormycosis, diagnosed during their course of COVID-19 illness, between January 3 and March 27, 2021.
Summary And Background: Esophageal perforation (EP) after anterior cervical surgery is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. EP caused by malpositioned implants in cervical spine injury with multiple comorbidities is challenging to treat simultaneously.
Study: This was a case report study.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on microbiological surveillance data and antibiotic sensitivity patterns for infectious disease management at a tertiary care center in Western India over four years.
- It retrospectively analyzes culture reports from various clinical samples, excluding respiratory secretions, to observe trends in nosocomial infections and microbial behavior.
- Results indicate an increase in Staphylococcus as the primary pathogen in bloodstream infections, with significant antibiotic sensitivity observed in gram-negative isolates, suggesting specific antibiotics as suitable empirical treatments.
