Abstract

Introduction: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a well-known factor associated with invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised hosts. However, its association with COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) has not been described. We aimed to examine the possible link between CMV replication and CAPA occurrence. Methods: A single-center, retrospective case–control study was conducted. A case was defined as a patient diagnosed with CAPA according to 2020 ECMM/ISHAM consensus criteria. Two controls were selected for each case among critically ill COVID-19 patients. Results: In total, 24 CAPA cases were included, comprising 14 possible CAPA and 10 probable CAPA. Additionally, 48 matched controls were selected. CMV replication was detected more frequently in CAPA than in controls (75.0% vs. 35.4%, p = 0.002). Probable CMV end-organ disease was more prevalent in CAPA (20.8% vs. 4.2%, p = 0.037). After adjusting for possible confounding factors, CMV replication persisted strongly associated with CAPA (OR 8.28 95% CI 1.90–36.13, p = 0.005). Among 11 CAPA cases with CMV PCR available prior to CAPA, in 9 (81.8%) cases, CMV replication was observed prior to CAPA diagnosis. Conclusions: Among critically ill COVID-19 patients, CMV replication was associated with CAPA and could potentially be considered a harbinger of CAPA. Further studies are needed to confirm this association.

Abstract

Infections due Scedosporium spp. in lung transplant recipients are associated with disseminated disease with high mortality rates. The adjunctive local antifungal therapy may be a useful option when systemic treatment is insufficient and/or surgery is not feasible. We present a case of mixed disseminated infection due Scedosporium apiospermum and S. prolificans in a lung transplant recipient. Combined local and systemic antifungal therapy provided an unusual long-term survival in the intensive care unit.

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of ceftolozane-tazobactam (C/T) for treating infections due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) in critically ill patients.A multicenter, retrospective and observational study was conducted in critically ill patients receiving different C/T dosages and antibiotic combinations for P. aeruginosa infections. Demographic data, localisation and severity of infection, clinical and microbiological outcome, and mortality were evaluated.Ninety-five patients received C/T for P. aeruginosa serious infections. The main infections were nosocomial pneumonia (56.2%), intra-abdominal infection (10.5%), tracheobronchitis (8.4%), and urinary tract infection (6.3%). Most infections were complicated with sepsis (49.5%) or septic shock (45.3%), and bacteraemia (10.5%). Forty-six episodes were treated with high-dose C/T (3 g every 8 hours) and 38 episodes were treated with standard dosage (1.5 g every 8 hours). Almost half (44.2%) of the patients were treated with C/T monotherapy, and the remaining group received combination therapy with other antibiotics. Sixty-eight (71.6%) patients presented a favourable clinical response. Microbiological eradication was documented in 42.1% (40/95) of the episodes. The global ICU mortality was 36.5%. Univariate analysis showed that 30-day mortality was significantly associated (P0.05) with Charlson Index at ICU admission and the need of life-supporting therapies.C/T appeared to be an effective therapy for severe infections due to P. aeruginosa in critically ill patients. Mortality was mainly related to the severity of the infection. No benefit was observed with high-dose C/T or combination therapy with other antibiotics.

Abstract

Received 8 October 2010; returned 9 November 2010; revised 2 December 2010; accepted 6 December 2010Objectives: The impact of oseltamivir on mortality in critically ill patients with 2009 pandemic influenza A(2009 H1N1) is not clear. The main objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between thetiming of antiviral administration and intensive care unit (ICU) outcomes.Methods: Prospective, observational study of a cohort of ICU patients with confirmed 2009 H1N1 infection.Clinical data, treatment and outcome were compared between patients receiving early treatment (ET) withoseltamivir, initiated within 2 days, and patients administered late treatment (LT), initiated after this timepoint.Multivariate analysis and propensity score were used to determine the effect of oseltamivir on ICU mortality.Results: Six hundred and fifty-seven patients were enrolled. Four hundred and four (61.5%) patients requiredmechanical ventilation (MV; mortality 32.6%). Among them, 385 received effective antiviral therapy andwere included in the study group. All patients received oseltamivir for a median duration of 10 days (interquar-tile range 8–14 days). Seventy-nine (20.5%) ET patients were compared with 306 LT patients. The two groupswere comparable in terms of main clinical variables. ICU length of stay (22.7+16.7 versus 18.4+14.2 days;P¼0.03), hospital length of stay (34.0+20.3 versus 27.2+18.2 days; P¼0.001) and MV days (17.4+15.2versus 14.0+12.4; P¼0.04) were higher in the LT group. ICU mortality was also higher in LT (34.3%) than inET (21.5%; OR¼1.9; 95% CI 1.06–3.41). A multivariate model identified ET (OR¼0.44; 95% CI 0.21–0.87) asan independent variable associated with reduced ICU mortality. These results were confirmed by propensityscore analysis (OR¼0.44; 95% CI 0.22–0.90; P,0.001).Conclusions: Our findings suggest that early oseltamivir administration was associated with favourableoutcomes among critically ill ventilated patients with 2009 H1N1 virus infection.Keywords: antiviral treatment, prognosis, pneumonia

Abstract

Objectives: To define which variables upon ICU admission could be related to the presence of coinfection using CHAID (Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detection) analysis. Methods: A secondary analysis from a prospective, multicentre, observational study (2009 -2014) in ICU patients with confirmed A(H1N1)pdm09 infection. We assessed the potential of biomarkers and clinical variables upon admission to the ICU for coinfection diagnosis using CHAID analysis. Performance of cut-off points obtained was determined on the basis of the bi-nominal distributions of the true (+) and true (-) results. Results: Of the 972 patients included, 196 (20.3%) had coinfection. Procalcitonin (PCT; ng/mL 2.4 vs. 0.5, p < 0.001), but not C-reactive protein (CRP; mg/dL 25 vs. 38.5; p = 0.62) was higher in patients with coinfection. In CHAID analyses, PCT was the most important variable for coinfection. PCT < 0.29 ng/mL showed high sensitivity (Se = 88.2%), low Sp (33.2%) and high negative predictive value (NPV = 91.9%). The absence of shock improved classification capacity. Thus, for PCT < 0.29 ng/mL, the Se was 84%, the Sp 43% and an NPV of 94% with a post-test probability of coinfection of only 6%. Conclusion: PCT has a high negative predictive value (94%) and lower PCT levels seems to be a good tool for excluding coinfection, particularly for patients without shock.
