Serious Candida infections were seen in 55 surgical patients from January 1977 through December 1980. Most of the patients had compromising underlying conditions and many were elderly. Broad-spectrum antibiotics and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) appeared to predispose patients to Candida infections. Mortality rate from Candida was 38%. A high percentage of patients with positive blood or bile cultures died as a result of Candida infection. Therapy with intravenous amphotericin B was highly effective if given in adequate dosage. No patient receiving more than 200 mg of amphotericin B died, but the mortality rate was 56% in those receiving lower doses.
1977年1月至1980年12月期间,55名外科手术患者出现了严重的念珠菌感染。大多数患者有基础疾病,且很多患者年事已高。广谱抗生素和全胃肠外营养(TPN)似乎使患者易患念珠菌感染。念珠菌感染导致的死亡率为38%。血培养或胆汁培养呈阳性的患者中,很大比例因念珠菌感染死亡。静脉注射两性霉素B治疗,若给予足够剂量则疗效显著。接受超过200毫克两性霉素B治疗的患者无一死亡,但接受较低剂量治疗的患者死亡率为56%。
