Abstract

Candida parapsilosis is a normal saprophyte of the skin and is characterized by the affinity for central venous catheters. Over the past decade, reports indicate that Candida parapsilosis is often the second most commonly isolated Candida species from blood cultures. This species has significantly lower sensitivity in vitro to echinocandins than other Candida species. In this paper, we have presented a case of Candida parapsilosis catheter-related sepsis in a patient with chronic renal failure.

Özet

Candida parapsilosisi cildin normal florasında bulunan bir mantardır ve santral venöz kateterlerinde kolonize olma özelliği ile tanınır. Geçtiğimiz son on yılda yapılan araştırmalarda, Candida parapsilosis’in kan kültürlerinden ikinci en sık izole edilen Candida türü olduğunu gösterilmektedir. Bu tür, diğer Candida türlerine göre ekinokandinlere karşı in vitro duyarlılığı anlamlı derecede daha düşüktür. Bu yazıda kronik böbrek yetmezliği olan bir hastada kateter ilişkili Candida parapsilosis sepsisi olgusu sunulmuştur.
