The rapid detection of fungemia in hospitalized patients is imperative, particularly for those who are immunocompromised. Our laboratory compared the Roche Septi-Chek with the Du Pont Isolator for the recovery of fungi from blood. Of 23,586 matched pairs of blood cultures, 199 were positive. The Isolator detected 178 (89.4%) and the Septi-Chek detected 119 (59.7%) of all positive isolates. The mean recovery time for the Isolator and Septi-Chek was 2.2 and 4.9 days, respectively. The Isolator detected fungemia earlier than the Septi-Chek did and was the only culture system positive in 83% of 53 patients, whereas the Septi-Chek system yielded the same results in only 13% of the patients. The Isolator provides a more rapid and sensitive method for the recovery of fungi from blood.
快速检测住院患者的真菌血症至关重要,尤其是对于那些免疫功能低下的患者。我们实验室比较了罗氏Septi-Chek和杜邦Isolator从血液中分离真菌的能力。在23586对匹配的血培养样本中,199份呈阳性。Isolator检测出所有阳性分离株中的178株(89.4%),而Septi-Chek检测出119株(59.7%)。Isolator和Septi-Chek的平均恢复时间分别为2.2天和4.9天。Isolator比Septi-Chek更早检测出真菌血症,并且是53例患者中83%唯一呈阳性的培养系统,而Septi-Chek系统在仅13%的患者中得到相同结果。Isolator为从血液中分离真菌提供了一种更快速、更灵敏的方法。
