    Abstract The vast majority of patients in the ongoing coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic primarily present with severe respiratory illness. We report a Covid-19 patient who presented with findings of acute coronary syndrome and was found to have purulent fulminant myopericarditis and cardiac tamponade. We compare our case to the previously reported instances of Covid-19-associated myocarditis. Through review of the available literature, we also highlight the potential mechanisms of cardiac injury in Covid-19. We hope to increase awareness amongst clinicians about this unusual presentation of Covid-19.

    Abstract Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection (IFI) due to several species of saprophytic fungi, occurring in patients with underlying co-morbidities (including organ transplantation). During the ongoing Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there have been increasing reports of bacterial and fungal co-infections occurring in COVID-19 patients, including COVID-19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA). We describe a case of mucormycosis occurring after COVID-19, in an individual who received a recent heart transplant for severe heart failure. Two months after heart transplant, our patient developed upper respiratory and systemic symptoms and was diagnosed with COVID-19. He was managed with convalescent plasma therapy and supportive care. Approximately three months after COVID-19 diagnosis, he developed cutaneous mucormycosis at an old intravascular device site. He underwent extensive surgical interventions, combined with broad-spectrum antifungal therapy. Despite the aggressive therapeutic measures, he died after a prolonged hospital stay. In this case report, we also review the prior well-reported cases of mucormycosis occurring in COVID-19 patients and discuss potential mechanisms by which COVID-19 may predispose to IFIs. Similar to CAPA, mucormycosis with COVID-19 may need to be evaluated as an emerging disease association. Clinicians should be vigilant to evaluate for invasive fungal infections such as mucormycosis in patients with COVID-19 infection.

    Abstract Introduction: Improvements in treatment have led to a growing population of older adults living with HIV. As this population ages, polypharmacy, or the use of more than five medications, may become more common among people living with HIV (PLWH).
    Methods: Two qualitative focus groups (N=7, N=8) were conducted among a sample of patients who participated in a larger study regarding differential medication adherence. Open-ended questions and probes focused on barriers and facilitators to multiple medication management as well as differential adherence.
    Results: Overall, patients were able to manage their polypharmacy. Social support facilitated adherence while long-term antiretroviral (ARV) use, medication-specific requirements and emotional fatigue were barriers to management. A small number of participants reported differential adherence that prioritized non-HIV medications over ARVs due to more immediate effects of non-adherence.
    Discussion: Findings suggest that PLWH have learned to manage their polypharmacy, but still face significant challenges adhering to multiple medications in the long-term. Future research may focus on the emotional toll of long-term ARV use and how patients' own management strategies may be leveraged to promote adherence.

    Abstract Mobile whole-room UVGI devices are used in healthcare settings to control surface-borne pathogens. Unfortunately, no standard method comparing the efficacy of these devices is available. We accessed the effect of shadows on UVC 254 nm inactivation. The evaluation of a mobile whole-room UVGI device used spores of Bacillus atrophaeus as a surrogate for Clostridium difficile and Staphylococcus aureus as a surrogate for MSRA. Inactivation after 10 min of exposure varied significantly depending on whether the spores received direct UV exposure (4.3 log reduction), both direct and reflected UV exposure (3.0-4.0 log reduction) or reflected UV exposure alone (<1.0 log reduction). The susceptibility (z-value) for inactivation of B. atrophaeus spores on a glass surface was estimated to be 0.00312 m
