Summary

This study tracked 219 adults with severe COVID-19 who needed a ventilator to breathe. Researchers wanted to see how many also developed serious fungal infections, especially a lung infection called aspergillosis. They used standard tests to check for fungi, but did not give any extra treatments. The goal was simply to learn more about these infections in very sick COVID-19 patients.
