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 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 ...

Determinants of Candidemia and Candidemia-Related Death in Cardiothoracic ICU Patients

Chest, 2003
To develop and prospectively validate models of independent predictors of candidemia and candidemia-related death in cardiothoracic ICU (CICU) patients.(1) An initial, prospective, one-center, case-control, independent predictor-model determining study; and (2) a prospective, two-center, model-validation study.The initial study was performed at the 14 ...

Candidemia After Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography

Southern Medical Journal, 1995
We report a case of candidemia associated with manipulation of the common bile duct during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. The patient had received parenteral nutrition and prolonged antibiotic therapy before the procedure and before Candida tropicalis was grown from blood cultures. Antifungal therapy resulted in clinical response.

Venous catheter-associated candidemia

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1978
Fifty-five patients with venous catheter-associated candidemia were seen over a 13-year period. Thirty-five patients recovered from the infection. Twenty-six of these patients became afebrile within 72 hours of catheter removal; none were treated with systemic antifungal agents.

Quantitative Blood Cultures in Candidemia

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1991
The relationship between quantitative data on peripheral blood cultures and source of infection was studied in 172 episodes of candidemia that occurred in 169 patients. Clinically, the source of candidemia was an intravascular device in 67 episodes, an extravascular source in 73 episodes, and endocarditis in 2 patients; no source was identified for the

Risk Factors for Breakthrough Candidemia

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2002
In order to assess the risk factors for breakthrough candidemia (candidemia occurring in patients receiving at least 3 days of systemic fluconazole or amphotericin B), 270 cases of candidemia occurring in two tertiary hospitals were analyzed. Using multivariate analysis, profound neutropenia (

Hospital-Acquired Candidemia

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1988
• Between 1977 and 1984, estimates of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections caused byCandidaspecies increased in the United States from 0.5 to 1.5 per 10000 admissions (National Nosocomial Infection Study data). We examined crude and attributable mortality rates and excess length of stay in 88 closely matched pairs of cases and controls with ...

FLUCONAZOLE THERAPY IN NEONATAL CANDIDEMIA

American Journal of Perinatology, 2000
We reviewed 62 episodes (from 59 infants) of neonatal candidemia that occurred between January 1994 and June 1999. Except 5 term babies, all infants were premature (median gestational age [GA], 30 weeks) and birth weight was less than 2,500 g (median, 1,300 g). Most infants had reported risk factors and other neonatal problems.

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.
