Additional monkeypox cases involving severe disease or death might not be included in this report if CDC has not yet been notified about the case or if the case occurred outside of the study period.

We describe 9 patients at a medical center in Detroit, Michigan, USA, with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and Clostridioides difficile . Both infections can manifest as digestive symptoms and merit screening when assessing patients with diarrhea during the coronavirus disease pandemic. These co-infections also highlight the continued importance of antimicrobial stewardship.

A comparative retrospective study to quantify the impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) on patient safety. We found a statistically significant increase in central line-associated blood stream infections and blood culture contamination rates during the pandemic. Increased length of stay and mortality was also observed during COVID-19.
