RESUMEN
La pandemia debida a la enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) causada
por el virus SARS-CoV-2 ha creado retos para su diagnóstico y tratamiento. Al día de
hoy no se cuenta con una terapia antiviral específica, esta situación ha presionado al
clínico a ofrecer terapias farmacológicas alternas cuyo beneficio puede ser opacado
por sus riesgos. Desde el inicio de la pandemia se popularizó la administración de
antibióticos empíricos en diversos protocolos de tratamiento en todo el mundo,
tratamiento que no está recomendado en las guías nacionales ni internacionales
para el manejo del COVID-19. La evidencia actual muestra una incidencia escasa
de coinfecciones bacterianas, incluso en cuadros severos. Administrar un antibiótico
de forma incorrecta cuando no se tiene indicación sustentada en estudios clínicos
se asocia con efectos nocivos importantes, como incremento en la mortalidad. Ante
la similitud del cuadro clínico infeccioso del COVID-19 con el de una neumonía
bacteriana atípica, descartar un proceso infeccioso de forma concisa y oportuna cobra
gran importancia; para esto pueden realizarse estudios bioquímicos y de imagen,
además de una buena integración clínica de los signos y síntomas del paciente. En
esta revisión se describe la recopilación de la evidencia sobre coinfecciones bacterianas
en COVID-19, la administración de antibióticos en esta enfermedad y las
posibles consecuencias.
