Urine D-arabinitol/L-arabinitol ratio in diagnosis of invasive candidiasis in newborn infants.
Infants treated in neonatal intensive care units suffer an increased risk for invasive candidiasis, but the diagnosis is sometimes difficult. D-arabinitol is a metabolite of most pathogenic Candida species. An elevated urine D-arabinitol/L-arabinitol (DA/LA) ratio is a sensitive sign of invasive candidiasis in children with cancer, but the method has not been previously evaluated for newborn in...
متن کاملComparison of serum mannan, arabinitol, and mannose in experimental disseminated candidiasis.
Concentrations of arabinitol, mannose, and mannan in serum have independently been reported to be elevated in patients with invasive candidiasis. These three marker substances were compared in a rabbit model. Twelve rabbits, immunosuppressed with cortisone, were infected intravenously with Candida albicans 3181A. Six uninfected control animals also received cortisone, and four rabbits were neit...
متن کامل1-Deoxy-d-arabinitol
Addition of methyl lithium to d-erythrono-1,4-lactone followed by acid deprotection was shown, by X-ray crystallography, to give 1-de-oxy-d-arabinitol, C(5)H(12)O(4), rather than 1-de-oxy-d-ribitol as the major product. The crystal structure exists as hydrogen-bonded chains of mol-ecules running parallel to the c axis which are further linked together by hydrogen bonds. Each mol-ecule is a dono...
متن کاملMycological and histopathological findings of experimental disseminated candidiasis in dogs
Disseminated candidiasis is an opportunistic infection in immunosuppressed animals by Candida species. The purposes of this study were to determine the predominant candidal forms in different tissues and tissue reactions. Sixteen dogs were selected in this study. The treatment dogs were immunosuppressed by intravenous administration of cyclophosphamide and after 5 days, they were challenged wit...
