Systemic infections caused by Candida spp. represent an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients hospitalized in ICU. In addition, these infections are associated with increase in time and costs of hospitalization. Despite the growing importance of this yeast as the etiological agent of severe infections, particularly in patients at risk, early diagnosis remains a challenge …
In the last three decades not only the incidence of fungal infections has increased significantly, but also the mortality and morbidity rates associated with them. Among the factors contributing to this phenomenon are the increase population of patients with severe immunosuppression and those solid organ and hematopoietic transplant recipients. In this scenario, some fungi, especially tho…
Disseminated candidiasis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised and critically ill pediatric patients admitted at intensive care units. Laboratory diagnosis of candidemia is troublesome due to the lack of blood cultures sensitivity. Detection of Candida DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in tiny blood volumes may provide a more rapid and reliable candide…
Disseminated candidiasis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised and critically ill pediatric patients admitted at intensive care units. Increased use of immunosupressive drugs, indwelling catheters, broad-spectrum antibiotics, parenteral nutrition and other predisposing conditions have contributed to the increment of Candida bloodstream infections. Laborator…
