ABSTRACT

Purpose:

To determine the prevalence of CMV reactivation in a population admitted for severe COVID-19 to a general hospital.

Methods:

Point prevalence study in all hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 (admitted either to general wards or ICU). Determination of the presence of CMV DNA in circulating blood. COVID-19 was confirmed in patients with compatible clinical manifestations, usually with pneumonia and a positive nasopharyngeal PCR test.

Results:

We included 140 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 who consented to participate. A total of 16 patients (11.42%), had circulating CMV-DNA in peripheral blood at the time of the study. Patients with positive CMV viral load were mainly ICU patients (11/37 -29,7%) and only 5/103 cases (4,85%) were hospitalized into general wards. The accumulated doses of corticosteroids (prednisone equivalents) in the study day were (median and IQR) 987.50 mg (396.87-2,454.68) and 187.50 mg (75.00-818.12) respectively in CMV positive and negative patients (p < 0.001). A significant proportion of CMV positive patients were discovered because of the study and were clinically unsuspected by their physicians. The coinfected COVID-CMV positive population had a higher risk of accumulated secondary nosocomially-acquired infections and a worse prognosis.

Conclusion:

CMV reactivation should be systematically searched in patients in COVID-19 cases admitted to the ICU. (AU)
RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Determinar la prevalencia de reactivación del CMV en una población ingresada por COVID-19 grave en un hospital general.

Métodos:

Estudio de prevalencia en todos los pacientes hospitalizados con COVID-19 (ingresados en salas generales o UCI). Determinación de la presencia de ADN de CMV en sangre. COVID-19 fue confirmado en pacientes con manifestaciones clínicas compatibles, generalmente con neumonía y una prueba de PCR nasofaríngea positiva.

Resultados:

Se incluyeron 140 pacientes hospitalizados con COVID-19 que firmaron el consentimiento. Un total de 16 pacientes (11,42%), tenían ADN-CMV circulante en sangre periférica en el momento del estudio. Los pacientes con carga viral CMV positiva eran principalmente pacientes de UCI 11/37 (29,7%) y solo 5/103 casos (4,85%) fueron hospitalizados en salas generaleres. Las dosis acumuladas de corticoides (equivalentes de prednisona), en el día del estudio fueron (mediana y RIQ) 987,50 mg (396,87-2.454,68) y 187,50 mg (75,00-818,12) respectivamente en pacientes con CMV positivo y negativo (p< 0,001). Una proporción significativa de pacientes con CMV positivos fueron descubiertos debido al estudio y fueron clínicamente insospechados por sus médicos. La población coinfectada con COVID-CMV positivo tuvo un mayor riesgo de infecciones nosocomiales secundarias acumuladas y un peor pronóstico.

Conclusión:

La reactivación de CMV debe buscarse sistemáticamente en pacientes con COVID-19 ingresados en la UCI. (AU)
