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
develo** VAP, most commonly because of Gram-negative bacteria. Further work is …

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 …

Introduction. It is known that bacterial infections represent a common complication during

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of superinfections in intensive
care units (ICUs) has progressively increased, especially carbapenem-resistant …

Introduction Typical acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and severe coronavirus-19
(COVID-19) pneumonia share complex pathophysiology, a high mortality rate, and an unmet …

There was important heterogeneity in the retrieved literature on the epidemiology of MRSA
lung infection in patients with COVID-19, both when considering all other bacteria as the …

Systemic or pulmonary reactivations of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) have been reported
in critically ill patients with COVID-19, posing a dilemma for clinicians in terms of their …
