Abstract

Septic pulmonary embolism (SPE) is a rare disease difficult to treat characterized by an acute onset, respiratory system symptoms, fever and bilateral pulmonary nodules. Bacterial, viral or fungal agents play a role in the etiology of septic pulmonary embolism. Candida species are important agents which are widely available in nature and lead to severe nosocomial infections. Candida species-related septic pulmonary embolism is rare. Being aware in risky patients is important for diagnose of fungal invasion. Candida ciferrii related septic pulmonary embolism has been reported at 70-year-old female patient with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in this paper. Although the pathogens of SPE may differ depending on the primary focus of the infection, early diagnosis, prompt antimicrobial therapy, radiologic or surgical intervention can lead to a successful treatment outcome

Özet

Septik pulmoner Emboli (SPE) akut başlangıçlı solunumsal belirtiler, ateş ve bilateral akciğer nodülleri ile karakterize, nadir gözlenen ve tedavisi güç bir hastalıktır. Bakteriyel, fungal ve viral ajanlar septik pulmoner embolinin etyolojisinde rol oynar. Doğada geniş ölçüde bulunabilen kandida türleri önemli ajanlardır ve ciddi nozokomiyal enfeksiyonlara yol açarlar. Kandida türleri ile ilişkili SPE nadirdir. Fungal invazyonun tanısı için riskli hastalarda uyanık olmak son derece önemlidir. Bu yazıda, Tip 2 Diyabet mellitusu olan 70 yaşında bayan hastada görülen Candida ciferrii ilişkili septik pulmoner emboli olgusu sunulmuştur. Her ne kadar SPE'ye sebep olan patojenler, primer odağa bağlı olarak değişiklik gösterebiliyorsa da, erken tanı, erken antimikrobiyal tedavi, radyolojik ve cerrahi müdahaleler ile tedavi başarısı sağlanabilir.
