Comparison of clinical outcomes in critically ill COVID-19 patients on mechanical ventilation with nosocomial pneumonia between Alpha and Omicron variants
CONCLUSION: Our study discovered a higher in-hospital mortality rate in severe COVID-19 patients with MV and secondary pneumonia infected with the Omicron variant compared to the Alpha variant; however, real independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality are malignancy, lower serum albumin level, and lack of Remdesivir treatment.PMID:38018405 | DOI:10.1177/17534666231213642 (Source: Respiratory Care)

Severe Bacterial Pneumonia due to Legionella longbeachae Transmitted from Potting Soil in Japan
Intern Med. 2023 Nov 27. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.2590-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPneumonia caused by Legionella longbeachae, transmitted through contaminated soil, is very rare in Japan. A 70-year-old man with severe respiratory failure was admitted to our hospital and underwent multidisciplinary procedures. Although a urinary antigen test was negative for Legionella, he was clinically diagnosed with legionellosis and administered levofloxacin. His condition subsequently improved. Thereafter, sputum culture detected L. longbeachae. Because the DNA of L. longbeachae was detected in the gardening soil, it is sus...
