Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To study the prevalence,fungal species,therapy and prevention of invasive fungal infections in our Affiliated Hospital.METHODS From Jan 2004 to Dec 2005,all patients with positive results for fungal culture of blood and sterile fluid were reviewed retrospectively.The in vitro activity of antifungal agents against fungal isolates was determined.RESULTS Eighty-eight positive patients were collected in this analysis based on the diagnosis of invasive fungal infection in our hospital for two years,from them the majority were diagnosed as candidal infections(n=72,81.8%),the others were Cryptococcus neoformans(n=8,9.1%),Aspergillus(n=5,5.7%) and other different fungal infections.The most common was C.albicans(n=48,66.7%),C.glabrata(n=12,16.7%),and C.tropicalis(n=8,11.1%),C.parapsilosis and C.krusei were both the same results(n=2,2.8%).CONCLUSIONS Infections caused by Candida are the most common invasive fungal ones in our hospital,and C.albicans is the most common one.Fluconazole remains effective for treament of candidal infections,especially those caused by C.albicans.
