Abstract

Aim: Systemic candida infections are the important causes of morbidity and mortality in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). In this study, the properties and risk factors of newborns affected by systemic candida infection in NICU are reported. Material and Method: Registration properties of fourteen patients diagnosed as having systemic candida infection were investigated retrospectively. Results: Mean birth weight was 1685±706 gram and mean gestational age was 32.9±4.4 weeks. Thirteen of the patients were premature, 11 had intubations, 9 had total parenteral nutrition and 12 had been given wide spectrum antibiotics for treatment of the infection. Conclusion: Similar to previous studies, prematurity was emphasized as the most common risk factor in this study also.

Özet

Amaç: Yaygın kandida enfeksiyonu yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitelerinde (YYBÜ) önemli ölüm ve hastalanma nedenlerindendir. Bu çalışmada yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde yaygın kandida enfeksiyonu gelişen hastaların özelliklerinin ve nedenlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Yaygın kandida enfeksiyonu tanısı ile izlenen 14 hastanın özellikleri geriye dönük olarak kayıtlardan incelendi. Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama doğum ağırlıkları 1685±706 gram, ortalama doğum haftaları 32.9±4.4 hafta idi. Ortaya çıkmasına etkili olan nedenler onüç hastada zamanından önce doğum (37 haftadan önce doğum), onikisinde geniş spektrumlu antibiyotik kullanımı, onbir hastada solunum yoluna tüp uygulaması, dokuz hastada ise damar yoluyla beslenme uygulanması şeklinde sıralanmıştı. Sonuç: Hastalarda daha önce yapılan çalışmalara benzer şekilde en önemli altta yatan nedenin zamanından önce doğum olduğu vurgulandı.
