Abstract

Objectives: We investigated the effect of oropharyngeal Candida colonization on the contamination of the Blom-Singer voice prosthesis and its lifetime. Patients and Methods: The study included 26 male laryngectomized patients (age range 45 to 76 years) in whom the Blom-Singer low-pressure prosthetic valve inserted required removal due to improper functioning. All patients had post-operative radiotherapy. Patients who had nystatin therapy were excluded. At the time of removal, cultures were obtained from the esophageal end of the prosthesis and from the oropharynx to be examined with regard to Candida growth. Results: Candida colonization was recovered from the cultures obtained on 20 prostheses (77%) and from 14 oropharyngeal specimens (54%). The presence of oropharyngeal colonization was always associated with that on prostheses. The average lengths of prosthesis use were 5.7 months (range 4 to 9 months) and 6.2 months (range 3 to 10 months) in patients with and without positive oropharyngeal Candida colonization, respectively (p>0.05). Conclusion: The results suggest that the presence of oropharyngeal Candida colonization has no effect on the prosthesis lifetime.

Özet

Amaç: Orofarenksteki Candida kolonizasyonunun, Blom-Singer ses protezi üzerindeki Candida kolonizasyonuna ve protezin ömrü üzerine etkisi araştırıldı. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Total larenjektomi sonrası düşük basınçlı Blom-Singer ses protezi takılan, ameliyat sonrası dönemde radyoterapi görmüş ve nistatin kullanmayan, ses protezinin bozulması nedeniyle değiştirilmesi için başvuran 26 erkek olgu (yaş dağılımı 45-76) çalışmaya alındı. Olguların orofarenksinden ve çıkarılan ses protezlerinin özofajeal ucundan alınan mantar kültürlerinde Candida kolonizasyonu araştırıldı. Bulgular: Yirmi olgunun (%77) protez, 14 olgunun (%54) orofarenks kültüründe Candida kolonizasyonu görüldü. Orofarenksinde Candida olan tüm olgularda, protez üzerinde de Candida kolonizasyonu belirlendi. Ortalama protez ömrü orofarenks kültüründe Candida üreyen olgularda 5.7 ay (dağılım 4-9 ay), üremeyenlerde ise 6.2 ay (dağılım 3-10 ay) bulundu. İki grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunmadı (p>0.05). Sonuç: Orofarenkste saptanan Candida kolonizasyonunun protez ömrü üzerine etkisi olmadığı sonucuna varıldı.
