متن کاملEmpirical antifungal therapy with an echinocandin in critically-ill patients: prospective evaluation of a pragmatic Candida score-based strategy in one medical ICU
BACKGROUND Invasive candidiasis (IC) is a life-threatening ICU-acquired infection. A strong correlation between time to antifungal therapy (AFT) administration and outcome has been established. Empirical therapy benefit should be balanced with the risk of echinocandin overuse. We assessed therefore a decision rule that aimed at guiding empirical therapy. METHODS A 45-month prospective cohort ...
متن کاملCandidemia in the critically ill: initial therapy and outcome in mechanically ventilated patients
BACKGROUND Mortality among critically ill patients with candidemia is very high. We sought to determine whether the choice of initial antifungal therapy is associated with survival among these patients, using need for mechanical ventilatory support as a marker of critical illness. METHODS Cohort analysis of outcomes among mechanically ventilated patients with candidemia from the 24 North Amer...

متن کاملRapid emergence of echinocandin resistance in Candida glabrata resulting in clinical and microbiologic failure.
We report a case of Candida glabrata candidemia that developed resistance to micafungin within 8 days of initiation of therapy in a patient without previous echinocandin exposure or other known risk factors for clinical or microbiological failure. Pre- and postresistant isolates were confirmed to be isogenic, and sequencing of hot spots known to confer echinocandin resistance revealed a phenyla...
