Covid-19-associated mold infection in critically ill patients, chile

Abstract

Patients with severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) may have COVID-19-associated invasive mold infection (CAIMI) develop. We report 16 cases of CAIMI among 146 nonimmunocompromised patients with severe COVID- 19 at an academic hospital in Santiago, Chile. These rates correspond to a CAIMI incidence of 11%; the mortality rate for these patients was 31.2%.
