The adverse impact of cytomegalovirus infection on intensive care units outcomes in critically ill COVID-19 patients: a single-center prospective observational study
In critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, CMV infection was frequently observed, and associated with increased ICU and hospital mortality. CMV co-infection correlated with a higher incidence of ICU-acquired bacterial and fungal infections and prolonged hospital stays. This emphasizes the importance of early CMV monitoring upon ICU admission, as timely detection and intervention could potentially mitigate its impact on patient outcomes.
