    Title translation Update 2021: COVID-19 from the perspective of infectious diseases specialty.
    Abstract From an infectious disease perspective, there have been outstanding findings since January 2020 far beyond the knowledge gained about SARS-CoV, which hopefully will help us to manage future pandemics. Positive highlights include the increased public awareness of infectious disease epidemiology, the increase in immunological knowledge, and the successful use of existing vaccine development platforms and technologies. This article presents a personal selection of interesting developments in recent months.

    Abstract Introduction: Up to 15% of adult patients in the clinical setting report to be allergic to penicillin. However, in most cases, penicillin allergy is not confirmed. Due to the negative aspects associated with erroneous penicillin allergy, the implementation of active delabelling processes for penicillin allergy is an important part of antibiotic stewardship programmes. Depending on the clinical setting, different factors need to be considered during implementation. This review examines the effectiveness of different delabelling interventions and summarises components and structures that facilitate, support or constrain structured penicillin allergy delabelling.
    Methods and analysis: This review will adhere to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. The databases MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE and Cochrane Library were searched for studies reporting on any intervention to identify, assess or rule out uncertain penicillin allergy. To improve completeness, two further databases are also searched for grey literature. Study design, intervention type, professional groups involved, effectiveness, limitations, barriers, facilitating factors, clinical setting and associated regulatory factors will be extracted and analysed. In addition, exclusion criteria for participation in the delabelling intervention and criteria for not delabelling penicillin allergy will be summarised. In case of failed protocols, these are highlighted and quantitatively analysed if possible. Two independent reviewers will perform the screening process and data extraction. Discordant decisions will be resolved through review by a third reviewer. Bias assessment of the individual studies will be performed using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale.
    Ethics and dissemination: Because individual patient-related data are not analysed, an ethical approval is not required. The review will be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

    Abstract Background: In this case report the authors present two female patients with intracranial mucormycosis after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
    Observations: The first patient was a 30-year-old woman with no past medical history or allergies who presented with headaches and vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography of the skull showed an endonasal infection, which had already destroyed the frontal skull base and caused a large frontal intracranial abscess. The second patient was a 29-year-old woman with multiple pre-existing conditions, who was initially admitted to the hospital due to a COVID-19 infection and later developed a hemiparesis of the right side. Here, the MRI scan showed an abscess configuration in the left motor cortex. In both cases, rapid therapy was performed by surgical clearance and abscess evacuation followed by antifungal, antidiabetic, and further supportive treatment for several weeks.
    Lessons: Both cases are indicative of a possible correlation of mucormycosis in the setting of severe immunosuppression involved with COVID-19, both iatrogenic with the use of steroids and previous medical history. Furthermore, young and supposedly healthy patients can also be affected by this rare disease.

    Title translation Management of infection in immunocompromised patients.
    Abstract The number of immunosuppressed patients continues to increase worldwide. The main reasons are the demographic development and improved long-term survival, also for patients under immunosuppression. A major cause of hospitalization and mortality among these patients are infections. Their management, including prevention and adequate treatment, plays a crucial role in survival and quality of life, but also with regard to economic factors.Infection management in immunocompromised patients faces new challenges today. Not only the increasing number, but also new groups of patients at risk and an increasingly aging and comorbid population pose problems for the treating physicians. While cancer medicine is no longer determined solely by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, new targeted substances are playing an increasingly important role. In addition, new targeted substances complicate adequate infection prophylaxis due to potential interactions. The worldwide increase in antibiotic-resistant pathogens complicates treatment of bacterial infections, which is associated with increased mortality, especially in the immunocompromised patient population. Further, the disruption of the microbiome shows negative antibiotic-associated effects. Hence the reasonable use of anti-infectives in prophylaxis and therapy is of great importance.There are many recommendations and guidelines for clinicians regarding the management of infections in immunocompromised patients. Overlaps of infectiology, hygiene as well as hematology and oncology sometimes lead to different recommendations. This article provides an overview of the currently existing evidence and guidelines for infection management in immunosuppressed patients.
