Description
Asmita Lamichhane and co-authors identified fungal germs in COVID-19 and non-COVID patients at a Nepal hospital, in a 2024 paper. COVID patients face a higher risk of added fungal infections. The team compared sputum samples from both groups. They also tested drug response and biofilm growth in the yeast finds.
Samples came from 135 COVID-positive and 101 COVID-negative cases. Standard culture methods named the fungi. Fungal germs were in fact more common in the negative group. Candida albicans led the finds in the positive group. Disc tests checked antifungal response. The results help local doctors pick treatments with real local data.
