Febrile neutropenic patients are at risk of serious infections. The aim of the present study is to identify the frequency, species, and susceptibility patterns of candidemia in febrile neutropenic patients.
This cross-sectional study was conducted on febrile neutropenic patients suspected with candidemia who had been referred to 3 educational hospitals during 9 months.
The blood samples of 80 febrile neutropenic patients with the mean age of 48±16.6 years were studied (60% female). Five (6.25%) episodes of candidemia were identified. The underlying disease was acute myeloid leukemia in 4 (80%) cases and all 5(100%) cases had central venous catheter and were receiving prophylactic ciprofloxacin and acyclovir. 100% of isolates were found to be susceptible to Voriconazole, 80% to Caspofungin, 60% to Amphotericin B, and 40% to Fluconazole.
The frequency of candidemia among the studied febrile neutropenia patients was 6.25%, with 80% mortality rate, and the most frequently identified yeast was Candida albicans (100% susceptible to Voriconazole).
发热性中性粒细胞减少患者有发生严重感染的风险。本研究的目的是确定发热性中性粒细胞减少患者念珠菌血症的发生率、菌种及药敏模式。
本横断面研究对9个月期间转诊至3家教学医院的疑似念珠菌血症的发热性中性粒细胞减少患者进行。
研究了80例平均年龄为48±16.6岁的发热性中性粒细胞减少患者的血样(60%为女性)。确定了5例(6.25%)念珠菌血症病例。4例(80%)的基础疾病为急性髓系白血病,所有5例(100%)均有中心静脉导管,并接受预防性环丙沙星和阿昔洛韦治疗。发现100%的分离株对伏立康唑敏感,80%对卡泊芬净敏感,60%对两性霉素B敏感,40%对氟康唑敏感。
在所研究的发热性中性粒细胞减少患者中,念珠菌血症的发生率为6.25%,死亡率为80%,最常鉴定出的酵母菌为白色念珠菌(对伏立康唑100%敏感)。
