Successful management of the first reported case in Austria of COVID-19 with ARDS

Successful management of the first reported case in Austria of COVID-19 with ARDS

We report the successful management of a patient with severe respiratory failure due to COVID-19 admitted to an intensive care unit complicated by secondary catheter-related infection of Candida glabrata . We are discussing some of the clinical challenges and the pitfalls in molecular diagnosis of S...

Zusammenfassung:We report the successful management of a patient with severe respiratory failure due to COVID-19 admitted to an intensive care unit complicated by secondary catheter-related infection of Candida glabrata . We are discussing some of the clinical challenges and the pitfalls in molecular diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, including the fact that a positive PCR result may not always reflect infectiousness.
