COVID-19-associated invasive fungal infections in intensive care unit patients during the first pandemic waves in Argentina: Results of a single center experience.

Critically ill COVID-19 patients are at high risk for invasive fungal infections (IFIs). Data on IFI prevalence in severe COVID-19 patients in Latin America is scarce. This study aimed at analyzing the prevalence and outcomes of IFIs in COVID-19 patients from Argentina.

Evidence of anti-Hcp100 antibodies in COVID-19 critically ill patients with detectable anti-histoplasmin antibodies in a highly endemic area for histoplasmosis.

Patients with severe COVID-19 are at increased risk for invasive fungal infections, which are underestimated. Histoplasmosis reactivation in endemic areas should not be overlooked in this population. In a previous study, seroconversion to anti-histoplasmin antibodies by ELISA was detected in 6/39 (15.
