Over half of Covid patients with secondary infection die: ICMR

Overuse of antibiotics and superbugs could be worsening the Covid-19 pandemic in India, according to an ICMR study across 10 hospitals, including two (Sion and Hinduja) in Mumbai. The study showed that more than half of the Covid-19 patients who get a secondary bacterial or fungal infection die. A secondary infection is one which occurs during or after the treatment of another infection.
