Fungemia due to rare non-Candida yeasts between 2018 and 2021 in a Greek tertiary care university hospital
Introduction
Non-Candida yeasts, although rare, are increasingly encountered and recognized as a growing threat.
Methods
Cases of bloodstream infections (BSIs) due to non-Candida yeasts (NCYs) during the last four years (2018–2021) are presented.
Results
During the study period, 16 cases caused by non-Candida yeasts out of 400 cases of yeast BSIs were recorded, corresponding to an incidence of 4%. Yeasts that were isolated included Cryptococcus spp (4 isolates-25%), Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (2 isolates-12.5%), Trichosporon asahii (7 isolates-43.75%) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (3 isolates-18.75%). Predisposing factors involved mostly hematological malignancies, long term hospitalization or major surgical interventions. Most isolates, 15 out of 16 were susceptible to amphotericin B. Voriconazole was the most active azole in vitro. All isolates, except Saccharomyces spp., were resistant to echinocandins.
Discussion
Early recognition of rare yeasts as causative agents of BSIs and prompt initiation of appropriate treatment based on current guidelines and expertise remain crucial in efficient patient management.
期刊介绍:
The Journal de Mycologie Medicale / Journal of Medical Mycology (JMM) publishes in English works dealing with human and animal mycology. The subjects treated are focused in particular on clinical, diagnostic, epidemiological, immunological, medical, pathological, preventive or therapeutic aspects of mycoses. Also covered are basic aspects linked primarily with morphology (electronic and photonic microscopy), physiology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, immunochemistry, genetics, taxonomy or phylogeny of pathogenic or opportunistic fungi and actinomycetes in humans or animals. Studies of natural products showing inhibitory activity against pathogenic fungi cannot be considered without chemical characterization and identification of the compounds responsible for the inhibitory activity.
JMM publishes (guest) editorials, original articles, reviews (and minireviews), case reports, technical notes, letters to the editor and information. Only clinical cases with real originality (new species, new clinical present action, new geographical localization, etc.), and fully documented (identification methods, results, etc.), will be considered.
Under no circumstances does the journal guarantee publication before the editorial board makes its final decision.
The journal is indexed in the main international databases and is accessible worldwide through the ScienceDirect and ClinicalKey platforms.
