Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate pathogenetic condition and fungal detection on evaluating acute exacerbation of COPD(AECOPD),and the relation of the severity and risk of death during hospital stay.METHODS Samples of sputum,blood and pleural effusion from patients with bronchopulmonary candidiasis in our respiratory department were collected since from Jul 2007 to Jun 2007.All of patients carried out APACHEⅡ integrating,according to the results of APACHEⅡsubset to Knaus equations to calculate the risk of death during hospital stay.RESULTS Twenty-two strains of fungi were isolated from 119 patients(18.4%).Blood gas analysis of severe COPD patients indicated a respiratory failure tendency,the fungal detection rate was higher than that of mild or median COPD patients.The higher of APACHEⅡ accumulated points,the higher of fungal detection rate,and the higher of risk of death.CONCLUSIONS The most organisms in respiratory tract infection are bacterium.With number of admission times in hospital and severity of pathogenetic condition increased are,the opportunity of fungal infection is raised.Furthermore,the fungal infection associatively with exacerbation.Fungi become the ascendant causative organisms inducing the decrese in pulmonary function and severity of patients,we should think about of it when the therapeutic efficacy is worse.
