Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To analyze the susceptible factors to offer prevention and treatment of nosocomial pulmonary fungal infection in comprehensive ICU. METHODS The clinical materials of 82 patients with pulmonary fungal nosocomial infection in our department from May 2003 to May 2008 were reviewed. RESULTS The infection rate of total 836 patients was 9.81%.Candidiasis was the most frequent type in fungal infection,59.7% of which were due to Candida.The most clinical features were a large amount of light yellow sputum after tracheotomy and intratracheal indwelling cannula.The factors related to pulmonary fungal nosocomial infection were the severity of the underlying disease,tracheal intubations,broadspectrum antibiotics abuse,long-term use of glucocorticoid,interventional treatment,etc.Fluconazole,amphotericin B and voriconazole had better clinical effects on treatment of fungal infection than other antifungal drugs. CONCLUSIONS It′s important to eliminate the susceptible factors and to provide the early diagnosis and experimental treatment.
