Abstract
Background
Diabetes mellitus is a public health problem in Mexico, and the trend of the disease is increasing. From 2000 to 2017, 7.32 million new cases were diagnosed, with pulmonary mycoses being one of the most serious complications.
Aims
To describe the frequency and the clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with pulmonary mycoses, and to identify the risk factors associated with this entity.
Methods
Case–control study, paired by gender (1:1-3) and age (± 5 years), that analyzed patients with pulmonary mycosis (mucormycosis, histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis, aspergillosis, cryptococcosis, paracoccidioidomycosis) and studied the risk factors present in each patient.
Results
From the 162 patients studied, 56 suffered pulmonary mycosis and 106 were controls. The median of the age was 51 and 50 years for the cases and for the controls, respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that patients with diabetes mellitus had an odds ratio of 8,3 (p < 0.001), and patients with a history of tuberculosis had an odds ratio of 8,8 (p < 0.001).
Conclusions
Our results show that 52% of the patients with pulmonary mycoses had a history of diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a relevant risk factor for pulmonary mycoses, which are usually diagnosed in advanced stages and have a high mortality.
期刊介绍:
Revista Iberoamericana de Micología (Ibero-American Journal of Mycology) is the official journal of the Asociación Española de Micología, Asociación Venezolana de Micología and Asociación Argentina de Micología (The Spanish, Venezuelan, and Argentinian Mycology Associations). The Journal gives priority to publishing articles on studies associated with fungi and their pathogenic action on humans and animals, as well as any scientific studies on any aspect of mycology. The Journal also publishes, in Spanish and in English, original articles, reviews, mycology forums, editorials, special articles, notes, and letters to the editor, that have previously gone through a scientific peer review process.
