Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the Candida species distribution, underlying diseases, risk factors and treatment outcome in patients with candidemia.

Methods

Clinical data of the patients with candidemia in Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2013 to December 2016 were analyzed, retrospectively.

Results

Total of 82 episodes of Candidemia was identified. The proportion of candidemia caused by C. albicans and non-albicans species were 42.7% and 57.3%, which included C. parapsilosis (22.0%) and C. tropicalis (19.5%). The majority of the isolates were susceptible to anti-fungal agents in vitro. Pulmonary diseases (45.1%), diabetes mellitus (37.8%) and tumor (34.1%) were the main predisposing diseases. Broad-spectrum antibiotic use (92.7%), invasive catheter (87.8%) and parenteral alimentation (81.7%) were the major risk factors. The overall 30-day mortality was 29.3%. Age, septic shock and bacterial bloodstream infection were independent risk factors for 30-day mortality.

Conclusions

Non-albicans Candida was predominant in candidemia. Most clinical strains were sensitive to antifugal drugs in vitro. Patients were accompanied by a variety of risk factors, had severe underlying disease and poor prognosis. High-risk patients should be identified early clinically in order to treat timely and improve the prognosis.

Key words: Candidemia, Risk factors, Prognosis
