Published: March 20, 2024

Introduction Triazole antifungal agents are widely used to treat and prevent systemic mycoses. With wide clinical use, the number of reported adverse events has gradually increased. The aim this study was analyze cardiac disorders associated with TAAs (fluconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole isavuconazole) based on data from US Food Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System FDA System. Methods Data were extracted FAERS database between first quarter 2004 third 2022. characteristics in TAA-associated AE reports analyzed. Disproportionality analysis performed evaluate potential association AEs using reporting odds ratio (ROR) proportional (PRR). Results Among 10,178,522 reports, 1719 as primary suspect drug. Most related fluconazole (38.34%), voriconazole (28.56%) itraconazole (26.76%). Itraconazole (N = 195, 42.39%) isavuconazole 2, 14.29%) had fewer serious outcome than three other drugs including fluconazole, posaconazole. 13, 11, 26, 5 1 signals detected for isavuconazole, respectively. new unrecorded drug label 9, 2 0 Conclusion Isavuconazole might be safest five AEs. may result outcomes.

Introduction and objective: Pulmonary mucormycosis is a rare but rapidly progressive fatal disease. Limited data exist on the outcomes factors associated with poor prognosis of pulmonary mucormycosis. The objective this study was to evaluate clinical characteristics, mortality, at tertiary care hospital in Pakistan. Methods: This retrospective observational conducted Karachi, Medical records hospitalized patients diagnosed proven or probable between January 2018 December 2022 were reviewed. Univariate regression analyses performed identify mortality. Results: Fifty-three (69.8% male) included, mean age 51.19 ± 21.65 years. Diabetes mellitus most common comorbidity [ n = 26 (49.1%)].

Mucormycosis is an infrequent but fatal illness that mainly affects patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, diabetic ketoacidosis, solid and hematologic neoplasms, organ transplantation, chronic steroid intake, prolonged neutropenia, iron overload states, neonatal prematurity, severe malnutrition, HIV. Many cases were reported across the world recently following COVID-19 pandemic. Recent research has led to a better understanding of pathogenesis disease, global guidelines are now available for managing this serious infection.

Abstract Background Data on mixed mould infection with COVID‐19‐associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) and mucormycosis (CAPM) are sparse. Objectives To ascertain the prevalence of co‐existent CAPA in CAPM (mixed infection) whether is associated early mortality (≤7 days diagnosis). Methods We retrospectively analysed data collected from 25 centres across India mucormycosis. included only excluded subjects disseminated or rhino‐orbital defined if a respiratory specimen showed septate hyphae smear, histopathology culture grew Aspergillus spp. also compare demography, predisposing factors, severity COVID‐19, management patients without CAPA. Using case–control design, we assess (primary exposure) were CAPM. Results 105 The was 20% (21/105). Patients experienced (9/21 [42.9%] vs. 15/84 [17.9%]; p = 0.02) poorer survival at 6 weeks (7/21 [33.3] 46/77 [59.7%]; 0.03) than alone. On imaging, consolidation more commonly encountered infections Co‐existent (odds ratio [95% confidence interval], 19.1 [2.62–139.1]) independently after adjusting for hypoxemia during COVID‐19 other factors.

Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)–associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) is a life-threatening fungal infection. Studies focusing on CAPA in low- and middle-income countries are limited. Methods This retrospective matched case-control study was conducted at tertiary care center South India. Cases of were classified using the 2020 European Confederation Medical Mycology/International Society for Human Animal Mycology consensus criteria. A total 95 cases 1:1 with COVID-19 patients without CAPA. Matching done based age period admission. Inverse probability weighting used to account imbalances severity intensive unit (ICU) Data demographics, clinical details, microbiologic radiologic data, treatment outcomes collected. predictive score developed from baseline risk factors. Results The identified lymphopenia, Organisation Research Treatment Cancer factors, broad-spectrum antibiotic use as main factors Positivity bacterial pathogens blood or bronchoalveolar lavage samples reduced model performed well cross-validation, an area under curve value 82%. diagnosis significantly increased mortality shift ICU. Conclusions derived current offers valuable tool clinicians, especially high-endemic countries, early identification With further validation, this could improve patient outcomes.
