Filter by:Multi-centered, international, observational and retrospective study to analyze the correlation between MIC and clinical outcome in patients with invasive fusariosis.
In recent decades, invasive fusarioses have been emerging fungal pathologies with high mortality. The prognosis depends on the speed of the diagnosis, but currently biological diagnosis is mainly based on fungal culture, no specific biomarker for this microorganism is available in current clinical practice. The genus Fusarium also shows reduced sensitivity to antifungals commonly used and recommended in clinical practice, such as voriconazole or amphotericin B. The main objective of this study is to describe the proportions of different fungal species in positive fungal cultures in patients with invasive fungal infection (IFI) or fungal keratitis. The secondary objectives are the description of the dosage of galactomannans, beta (1,3) -D-glucans and the rate of detection of DNA circulating in case / control groups for the 2 clinical forms studied. In patients with evidence of Fusarium wilt, the study will describe the distribution of the different minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) depending on whether or not different antifungals are taken, the vital status at 3 months, and the response or not to treatment. Finally, the presence of genetic markers will be described according to the groups of MIC values.
The aim of this study was to describe the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of a series of cases of fungal keratitis associated with Fusarium spp., In Spain during the years 2012 to 2014.
Patients admitted for autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, induction-remission chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplasia or acute lymphoid leukemia, or to receive immunosuppressive therapy for aplastic anemia will be screened with dermatologic examination. In the presence of any skin lesion in the extremities, direct exam and fungal culture will be performed. If these exams indicate the presence of Fusarium species, patients will receive anti-mold azole prophylaxis
This exempt chart review study will try to determine the clinical presentation, prognostic factors, response to different treatment modalities and mortality among patients diagnosed with fusariosis after solid-organ transplantation.
