Candidemia in Immunocompromised Patients

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1992
This study reviews data on patients with fungemia and confirms the high prevalence (50%) of infections caused by non-albicans species of Candida. Fungemia due to C. albicans or Torulopsis glabrata occurred significantly more often in patients with a solid tumor, while fungemia due to Candida tropicalis or Candida krusei was significantly more common in

Candidemia in the patient with malignancy

Hospital Practice, 2018
Invasive fungal infections are a common life-threatening disease and a major cause of morbidity, particularly in patients with malignancies, and Candida spp. is the most common isolated fungi in bloodstream. Candidemia is the focus of this review, which covers an approach to diagnosis and treatment, with an emphasis on patients with malignancies. Acute

Candidemia in the 21st Century

Future Microbiology, 2008
The 21st century has brought forth vast innovations in the healthcare field. The availability and use of aggressive chemotherapeutic and immunosuppressive agents as well as broad-spectrum antibacterial agents has created a large population of patients who are at increased risk of acquiring infections with fungal organisms, especially Candida species ...

Candidemia, look at the eyes

Intensive Care Medicine, 1988
Two patients with disseminated candidiasis are presented. The diagnosis was established by fundoscopy. Candida endophthalmitis can be the only manifestation of disseminated candidiasis. The role of fundoscopy in the management of candidemia is emphasized because it can provide evidence of disseminated disease.

Candidemia in a Pediatric Population

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1995
Candidemia results in a mortality of > 50% among adults, but data on children with candidemia are limited. We reviewed 70 episodes of pediatric candidemia that occurred between January 1988 and October 1992. Of these episodes, 53% were caused by Candida albicans, 24% were caused by Candida parapsilosis, 16% were caused by Candida tropicalis, and 3 ...

Rapid Detection of Candidemia

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1973
The Sterifil lysis-filtration (SLF) blood culture technic was compared with a standard trypticase soy broth (TSB) procedure for the detection of candidemia. Of a total of 3,554 blood cultures run in parallel, 29 Candida isolates were obtained with the SLF technic, whereas only 17 were recovered with the TSB method, a statistically significant ...

Candidemia in HIV-Infected Subjects

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1999
The epidemiological features of 37 episodes of candidemia in HIV-infected subjects were analysed in a retrospective matched case-control study conducted over an 8-year period (1990-1997). Univariate analysis identified eight risk factors that were significantly associated with candidemia ...

Nosocomial fungal infections: candidemia

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1999
Candida species are frequently encountered as part of the human commensal flora. Colonization mostly precedes candidemia and is an independent risk factor for the development of candidemia. Genotyping methods showed the similarity between colonizing and infecting strains, thus making endogenous origin likely, though exogenous sources like total ...

Occurrence, presentation and treatment of candidemia

Expert Review of Clinical Immunology, 2012
Candida is one of the most common causes of nosocomial bloodstream infections. Candidemia is not confined to hematological patients, intensive care units or abdominal surgery wards, but it is remarkably frequent in the internal medicine setting. High mortality associated with candidemia can be reduced by prompt, appropriate antifungal therapy.
