  • An outbreak of candidemia due to Candida Tropicalis in a neonatal intensive care unit.
    Mycoses, 2003
    Co-Authors: Anuradha Chowdhary, Karsten Becker, Wolfgang Fegeler, H. C. Gugnani, Lata Kapoor, V. S. Randhawa, G. Mehta
    Abstract:

    Summary An outbreak of candidemia due to Candida Tropicalis involving 16 neonates (gestational age 28–36 weeks) is reported. All infants had received hyperalimentation and at least one course of antibiotics. The commonest clinical manifestations included episodes of acute respiratory distress and lack of response to antibacterial antibiotic therapy. Candida Tropicalis was recovered from blood in all the 16 infants and urine cultures were positive in 14 infants. Environmental sampling yielded C. Tropicalis from one each of the blankets and mattresses used for neonates. Four of five urinary tract isolates and both environmental isolates genotyped by arbitrarily primed-PCR with several random primers were shown to belong to the same genotype. Zusammenfassung Es wird uber einen Candidamie-Ausbruch, verursacht durch Candida Tropicalis, bei 16 Neugeborenen berichtet. Alle Kinder hatten Hyperalimentation und wenigstens eine Antibiotikabehandlung erhalten. Die haufigsten klinischen Manifestationen waren Episoden akuter Respirationsstorungen und Nichtansprechen auf antibakterielle Therapie. Candida Tropicalis wurde aus Blutkulturen aller 16 Kinder und aus Urinkulturen von 14 Kindern isoliert. Bei Umgebungsuntersuchungen wurde C. Tropicalis an einer Decke und einer Matratze der Neugeborenen gefunden. Vier der funf Urintraktisolate und die beiden Umgebungsisolate erwiesen sich mittels AP-PCR als genotypisch identisch.
