Filamentous fungi are frequently recovered from respiratory cultures of individuals with CF.
A CF cohort database was utilized to determine filamentous fungal prevalence and risk factors.
The prevalence of filamentous fungal isolation increased from 2.0% in 1997 to 28.7% in 2007. The odds of isolating filamentous fungi during a quarter was greater in CF adults [p<0.001], during chronic oral antibiotic use [p=0.002] and increased with each 10% drop in FEV(1) percent predicted [p=0.005], while inhaled corticosteroids surprisingly decreased the likelihood [p=0.012]. The direction of these effects persisted after excluding individuals with ABPA. A sub-analysis determined older age [p=0.019] and use of inhaled antibiotics [p=0.011] were independent risk factors for onset of fungal colonization.
This study suggests that isolation of filamentous fungi in CF at JHH has increased and risk factors include older age, decreased lung function, and chronic oral antibiotics.
丝状真菌常从 CF 患者的呼吸道培养物中分离出来。
利用 CF 队列数据库来确定丝状真菌的流行率和危险因素。
丝状真菌分离的流行率从 1997 年的 2.0%增加到 2007 年的 28.7%。在 CF 成人中[<0.001],在慢性口服抗生素使用期间[=0.002],每下降 10%的预计 FEV(1)百分比[=0.005],分离丝状真菌的可能性更高,而吸入皮质类固醇则出乎意料地降低了这种可能性[=0.012]。在排除 ABPA 患者后,这些影响的方向仍然存在。一项亚分析确定,年龄较大[=0.019]和使用吸入抗生素[=0.011]是真菌定植开始的独立危险因素。
本研究表明,JHH 的 CF 患者中丝状真菌的分离率有所增加,危险因素包括年龄较大、肺功能下降和慢性口服抗生素。
