- Abstract
Comments on: bacterial and fungal superinfections are detected at higher frequency in critically ill patients affected by SARS CoV-2 infection than negative patients and are associated to a worse outcome. We appreciate the great interest demonstrated by Dr Abbasi for our work.[[1]] Our study was specifically focused on superinfections among critically ill adult patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICUs) for severe/critical COVID-19 disease excluding pediatric patients. Response to the Letter to the Editor on "Bacterial and fungal superinfections are detected at higher frequency in critically ill patients affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection than negative patients and are associated to a worse outcome".
