Association of fluconazole pharmacodynamics with mortality in patients with candidemia.
Recent studies of nonneutropenic patients with candidemia or candidiasis suggest that fluconazole pharmacodynamic parameters correlate with clinical outcomes; however, additional data of correlation to mortality in patients with candidemia would be valuable. We assessed the impact of MICs for Candida, fluconazole pharmacodynamics, and patient characteristics on all-cause mortality with use of a...

متن کاملCandidemia in allogeneic blood and marrow transplant recipients: evolution of risk factors after the adoption of prophylactic fluconazole.
The prophylactic use of fluconazole is common in blood and marrow transplant (BMT) recipients. To evaluate how fluconazole has influenced the development of azole resistance and candidemia, weekly mouthwashings were done, and fluconazole susceptibility was determined for 1475 colonizing and invasive isolates obtained from patients undergoing BMT. Of 585 patients, 256 (44%) were colonized with C...
متن کاملCandidemia in the critically ill: initial therapy and outcome in mechanically ventilated patients
