COVID-19 and Pulmonary Coinfection: A Case Series.

Objectives: In COVID-19 patients, bacterial and fungal pulmonary coinfections, such as , , , or have been reported, but to our knowledge, no case has been reported due to .

Patients And Methods: We describe three cases of coinfections occurring during the 4th wave of COVID-19 in Martinique (French West Indies).

Results: All three cases were fatal; thus, has to be considered as a potentially severe coinfection agent.

Obese patients with long COVID-19 display abnormal hyperventilatory response and impaired gas exchange at peak exercise.

To analyze the impact of obesity on cardiopulmonary response to exercise in people with chronic post-COVID-19 syndrome. Consecutive subjects with chronic post-COVID syndrome 6 months after nonsevere acute infection were included. All patients received a complete clinical evaluation, lung function tests and cardiopulmonary exercise testing.

Seroprevalence of chikungunya virus infection among HIV-infected adults in French Caribbean Islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe in 2015: A cross-sectional study.

Background: In 2014, a first outbreak of chikungunya hit the Caribbean area where chikungunya virus (CHIKV) had never circulated before.

Methodology/principal Findings: We conducted a cross-sectional study to measure the seroprevalence of CHIKV immediately after the end of the 2014 outbreak in HIV-infected people followed up in two clinical cohorts at the University hospitals of Guadeloupe and Martinique. Study patients were identified during the first months of 2015 and randomly selected to match the age and sex distribution of the general population in the two islands.
