In a UK national surveillance study, we found that Candida parapsilosis accounted for one quarter of all cases of invasive fungal infection in very low birthweight infants. C parapsilosis was associated with fewer deep-seated infections than C albicans, but mortality was similar. Ongoing surveillance is needed to monitor the epidemiology of invasive fungal infection in very low birthweight infants.
在一项英国全国性监测研究中,我们发现近平滑念珠菌占极低出生体重儿侵袭性真菌感染病例的四分之一。与白色念珠菌相比,近平滑念珠菌引起的深部感染较少,但死亡率相似。需要持续监测以监测极低出生体重儿侵袭性真菌感染的流行病学情况。
