Background Frequent use of antibiotics in patients with COVID-19 threatens to exacerbate
antimicrobial resistance. We aimed to establish the prevalence and predictors of bacterial …

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are caused by nosocomial pathogens. HAIs have
an immense impact not only on developing countries but also on highly developed parts of …

BACKGROUND Despite guidelines promoting the prevention and aggressive treatment of
ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), the importance of VAP as a driver of outcomes in …

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to estimate the pooled occurrence
of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) among patients admitted to an intensive care unit …

Covid-19 patients who require mechanical ventilation for ARDS have a high risk (> 50%) of
developing VAP, most commonly because of Gram-negative bacteria. Further work is …

Background Data in the literature about HSV reactivation in COVID-19 patients are scarce,
and the association between HSV-1 reactivation and mortality remains to be determined …

We reviewed similarities and differences of ventilator associated pneumonia in Sars-Cov2
infection and with other ARDS. The differences in epidemiology and outcome will be …

OBJECTIVES: Little is known about the epidemiology of ventilator-acquired pneumonia
among coronavirus disease 2019 patients such as incidence or etiological agents. Some …

Objective: We compared the rates of hospital-onset secondary bacterial infections in patients
with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with rates in patients with influenza and controls …

A significant proportion of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia could develop acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), thus requiring mechanical ventilation, and resulting …
