Abstract

Objective: Candida causes serious infections in intensive care patients resulting in high mortality. In this retrospective study, clinical data of intensive care patients with Candida strains isolated from various clinical specimens were examined; To describe the isolated Candida strains and antifungal susceptibility patterns . Materials and Methods: In January 2017 - January 2020; Gram staining and germ tu be test were applied to Candida strains isolated from clinical specimens. VITEK 2 automated system was used to identify Candida species and to flucytosine and micafungin, susceptibility were to be found fluconazole 88%, voriconazo le 96%, amphotericin B and caspofungin 97%, respectively. determine their antifungal sensitivity. Results: The most common indications for hospitalization were determined as respiratory failure (66%) and postoperative follow-up (14%). The most common risk factors were determined as urinary catheter (94%) and mechanical ventilation (84%). Mortality rate was found to be 60%. While Candida species were most frequently isolated from urine (59%) and tracheal (22%) samples, the most frequently isolated species were Candida albicans (83%) and Candida parapsilosis (4%). While all isolates were susceptible Conclusion: Candida species differ by region. Epidemiology and antifungal susceptibility vary for different candida species. For this reason, it is important to determine the epidemiological factors in Candida infections, especially in intensive care patients, to determine the specie s level, and to determine the antifungal sensitivity of the causative species in order to decide on the appropriate treatment.

Özet

Amaç: Candida, yo ğun bak ım hastalar ında yüksek mortalite ile sonuçlanan ciddi enfeksiyonlara neden olur. Bu retrospektif çalışmada çeşitli klinik örneklerinden Candida suşları izole edilmiş yoğun bakım hastalarına ait klinik veriler incelenmiş; izole edilmiş Candida suşları ve antifungal duyarlılık paternlerinin tanımlanması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2017– Ocak 2020 tarihlerinde; klinik örneklerden izole edilen Candida su şlarına Gram boyama ve germ tüp testi uygulanmış, Candida türlerinin tanımlanması ve antifungal duyarlılığının tespitinde VITEK 2 otomatize sistem kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: En s ık yatış endikasyonu solunum yetmezliği (%66) ve cerrahi sonrası takip (% 14); en sık risk faktörü üriner kateter (%94) ve mekanik ventilasyon (%84) olarak belirlenmiştir. Mortalite %60 bulunmuştur. Candida suşları en sık idrar (% 59) ve trakeal (%22) örneklerden izole edilmiş; en sık izole edilen türler Candida albicans (%83) ve Candida parapsilosis (%4) olmuştur. Tüm izolatlar flusitozin ve mikafungine duyarlı bulunurken, flukonazole %88, vorikonazole %96, amfoterisin B ve kapsofungine ise %97 duyarlı bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Candida türleri bölgelere göre farklılık gösterir. Farklı candida türleri için epidemiyoloji ve antifungal duyarlılık da değişmektedir. Bu sebeple özellikle yoğun bak ım hastalar ında Candida enfeksiyonlarında epidemiyolojik faktörlerin belirlenmesi tü r düzeyinde tan ımlama yapılması ve etken suşun antifungal duyarl ılığının belirlenmesi uygun tedaviye karar verilmesi açısından önemlidir..
