Filter by:The aim of the study is to determine viable use of caspofungin in post-OLTx patients, and to demonstrate in particular the effectiveness, understood as the ability to reduce the incidence of invasive fungal infections, and to assess the ability to reduce the risk and incidence of side effects (toxicity) which may arise in transplant patients treated with other drugs, especially in individuals recognized as high risk (e.g. renal failure).
The aim of this study is to describe the epidemiology of fungal blood infections in Spain (with emphasis on the incidence, fungal species distribution and antifungal susceptibility). The study is to be performed in five big cities which represent different geographic areas: Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid, Sevilla and Valencia.
Candida albicans is the most common and important clinical fungal pathogen. Our previous surveillance disclosed that fluconazole could induce different morphological changes in clinical strains. Our current study on C. albicans causing candiuria disclosed that renal insufficiency , diabetes mellitus, respiratory failure and uremia were risk factors of treatment failure. However, we also found results of E-test drug susceptible test could not predict outcome. Hence, retrospective analysis of 31 months period, cases that had C. albicans inducing candidemia were reviewed and 60 cases were enrolled for morphological study and potential virulent gene analysis. This study is designed to clarity the clinical meaning of morphological form and virulent genes on candidemia. To do this study is probably helpful for treatment of candidiasis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of anidulafungin versus fluconazole for the prevention of fungal diseases in liver transplant recipients
The purpose of this study is to gather information on the use of anidulafungin for the treatment of Candida infection in patients with an abnormal immune system. It is expected that anidulafungin will be at least as safe and as effective as the comparator drug, caspofungin.
The purpose of this study is to gather information on the use of anidulafungin for the treatment of serious Candida infection. It is expected that anidulafungin will be at least as safe and as effective as the comparator drug, caspofungin.
The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety between Mycamine and Itraconazole oral solution in preventing invasive fungal infections on autologous(malignant blood diseases) or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients
The purpose of this study is to assess the cut-off value of GM/G test in Chinese patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and evaluate GM/G test and real-time PCR for diagnosis of IFI in Chinese patients.
The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of daily chlorhexidine bathing would decrease the incidence of MRSA and VRE colonization and healthcare associated Bloodstream Infections (BSI) among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients.
The study aims to determine if voriconazole prevents invasive fungal infections in liver transplant recipients. Endpoints would be: occurrence of invasive fungal infection and fungal colonization. Two groups will be compared: patients who received voriconazole as prophylaxis and historical controls who did not receive this prophylaxis.
