Le infezioni fungine diventano pi\u00f9 letali quando \u00e8 coinvolto il COVID-19, secondo la ricerca.<\/p>\n

Un recente studio condotto dal Centri per il controllo e la prevenzione delle malattie<\/a> (CDC) ha scoperto tassi di mortalit\u00e0 allarmanti tra i pazienti ricoverati per infezioni fungine associate a COVID. I dati hanno mostrato una disparit\u00e0 significativa rispetto alle infezioni fungine non correlate al virus durante l'era della pandemia.<\/p>\n

Lo studio, condotto dal dottor Jeremy Gold e dal suo team presso il CDC di Atlanta, ha fatto luce sulla gravit\u00e0 del problema.<\/p>\n

Tra il 2020 e il 2021, il tasso di mortalit\u00e0 per infezioni fungine associate a COVID in ospedale si \u00e8 attestato a un incredibile 48,5%. Al contrario, il tasso di mortalit\u00e0 per infezioni fungine non associate a COVID era 12,3%.<\/p>\n

I ricercatori hanno evidenziato specifiche infezioni fungine legate a COVID-19 che hanno mostrato i pi\u00f9 alti tassi di mortalit\u00e0, tra cui aspergillosi (57.6%), candidosi invasiva (55.4%), mucormicosi (44.7%) e micosi non specificate (59.0%).<\/p>\n

Questi risultati erano in linea con i dati precedentemente riportati, che indicavano anche decessi associati a COVID pi\u00f9 elevati che coinvolgevano Candida e Aspergillus, secondo MedPage Oggi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Il dottor Gold e i suoi colleghi hanno sottolineato l'importanza di mantenere un alto livello di sospetto clinico per le infezioni fungine nei pazienti ad alto rischio, in particolare quelli con COVID-19. Lo studio ha sottolineato la necessit\u00e0 di una maggiore sorveglianza delle malattie fungine per rilevare le tendenze emergenti e guidare gli interventi appropriati.<\/p>\n

Lo studio ha analizzato un totale di 59.212 ricoveri per infezioni fungine dal 2019 al 2021. I tassi per 10.000 ricoveri hanno mostrato un aumento da 22,3 nel 2019 a 25,0 nel 2020 e successivamente a 26,8 nel 2021. La variazione percentuale media annua dei tassi \u00e8 stata calcolata come 8.5%.<\/p>\n

Dal 2020 al 2021, 13.4% dei 39.423 ricoveri fungini sono stati associati a COVID. I tassi di ricoveri fungini associati a COVID per 10.000 ricoveri COVID sono aumentati del 24,9%.<\/p>\n

I ricoveri hanno comportato degenze pi\u00f9 lunghe, con una durata mediana di 21 giorni rispetto ai 9 giorni per le infezioni fungine non associate a COVID. Avevano anche maggiori probabilit\u00e0 di coinvolgere la terapia intensiva e i pazienti con infezioni fungine associate a COVID avevano una maggiore probabilit\u00e0 di richiedere ventilazione meccanica invasiva.<\/p>\n

Inoltre, lo studio ha rivelato disparit\u00e0 demografiche, con le infezioni fungine associate a COVID che sono pi\u00f9 diffuse negli uomini e negli individui ispanici\/latini. Le infezioni erano anche pi\u00f9 probabili negli stati occidentali.<\/p>\n

I ricercatori hanno notato che le disparit\u00e0 razziali o etniche potrebbero essere collegate a disuguaglianze di lunga data nei determinanti della salute sociale, accesso limitato alle cure mediche, esposizioni professionali e maggiore prevalenza di condizioni sottostanti come il diabete, che aumentano il rischio di funghi e COVID-19 infezioni tra alcuni gruppi minoritari.<\/p>\n

Gli autori dello studio hanno anche riconosciuto il ruolo potenziale delle terapie del sistema immunitario nelle tendenze osservate. L'infezione da COVID-19 \u00e8 stata identificata come un fattore di rischio significativo per alcune infezioni fungine, in particolare quelle causate da muffe invasive. Questa associazione era probabilmente dovuta alla disregolazione del sistema immunitario correlata a COVID-19 e all'uso di terapie immunosoppressive come corticosteroidi o altri farmaci immunomodulatori.<\/p>\n

I ricercatori hanno utilizzato il Premier Healthcare Database, Special COVID-19 Release, un database ospedaliero completo, basato su tutti i contribuenti, impiegato dal CDC per le attivit\u00e0 di risposta al COVID. I ricoveri che hanno coinvolto infezioni fungine e COVID sono stati identificati tra gennaio 2019 e dicembre 2021. L'et\u00e0 media dei pazienti ricoverati per infezioni fungine associate a COVID era di 63 anni, rispetto ai 61 per quelli con infezioni fungine non associate a COVID.<\/p>\n

Gli autori hanno riconosciuto alcune limitazioni, tra cui la potenziale sottostima, classificazione errata e codifica non specifica di funghi patogeni a causa di codici diagnostici fungini. Inoltre, hanno evidenziato la mancanza di dati completi sulle infezioni fungine durante la pandemia negli Stati Uniti, poich\u00e9 molte malattie fungine non sono attualmente segnalabili.<\/p>\n
