Increased incidence of fungemia caused by Candida krusei.
Candida krusei colonized 12.4% of 868 patients undergoing episodes of therapy-induced granulocytopenia over a 9-year period. The gastrointestinal tract was most frequently colonized, followed by the respiratory tract and urinary tract. Ten patients developed systemic infections with C. krusei; all 10 had two or more positive blood cultures. Nine of the 10 patients were colonized with C. krusei,...
متن کاملSpondylodiscitis caused by Candida krusei: case report and susceptibility patterns.
A 62-year-old man with amphotericin B-resistant Candida krusei spondylodiscitis, following an episode of candidemia caused by the same strain, was successfully treated with caspofungin plus voriconazole. Amphotericin B fungicidal concentrations were better predictors of the clinical outcome than were MICs. This is the first case of C. krusei spondylodiscitis reported in the literature.
متن کاملOnycholysis and Chromonychia: A Case Caused by Trichosporon inkin.
Yeasts cause only 5-10% of onychomycosis; the most common yeast is Candida albicans, and rarely Trichosporon spp. is found. Recently, it has become an important cause of fungemia with a high mortality rate in immunocompromised patients. Superficial infections caused by Trichosporon spp., including piedra and onychomycosis, occur in immunocompetent patients. Herein, we report a case of a fungal ...
متن کاملUpregulation of the ERG11 gene in Candida krusei by azoles
BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Candida species are the agents of local and systemic opportunistic infections and have become a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the last few decades. Azole resistance in Candida krusei (C. krusei) species appears to be the result of gene alterations in relation to the ergosterol biosynthesis pathway, as well as efflux pumps. The main objective o...
متن کاملparapsilosis/Candida krusei BSIs resulted negative for mannan and positive for the BDG test. Among 6 NICU patients with BSIs caused by Candida albicans or Candida parapsilosis
The incidence of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) in critically ill patients has constantly increased over recent decades, but their diagnosis still presents problems: conventional diagnostic (microscopic examination, fungal cultures) is sometimes insensitive, some procedures (e.g. tissue biopsy) require an aggressive approach not compatible with the critical condition of the patients, so the ...
