Bloodstream Infections With Candida auris Among Children in Colombia: Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of 34 Cases

Abstract: Background Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant yeast that can cause invasive infections and healthcare-associated outbreaks. Here, we describe 34 cases of pediatric C. auris bloodstream infections (BSIs) identified during July 2014–October 2017 in 2 hospitals in Colombia. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of microbiology records for possible C. auris cases in 2 hospitals in Barranquilla and Cartagena. B… Show more

“…Publications were reviewed and selected based on their quality and pertinence. Following exclusion of suspected repetitive studies, the search yielded 23 publications that reported C. auris incidents in children [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ]. Twelve publications included both adult and pediatric patients [ 17 , 19 , 20 , 23 , 24 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 32 , 35 , 36 , 37 ]; of them, one did not provide specific details of the pediatric patients and was excluded [ 26 ].…”

“…Despite antifungal consumption in PICUs is less reported than antibiotic consumption, there a recente concern about emergence of Candida auris resistant to different antifungals, also reported in pediatric and neonatal settings. 13,14 When antiviral consumption were analyzed, we verified a trend of reduction in one PICU and increase in the second one. 15 Limitation of this article includes that the findings reflect local reality of two major PICUs of Rio de Janeiro city.…”

“…Вместе с тем в последнее время растет этиологическая роль и других видов дрожжевых микромицетов -так называемых non-albicans (Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis) [18]. Появляются также сообщения о вспышках инвазивных микозов, вызываемых Candida auris и Candida pelliculosa -микромицетами, ранее редко ассоциировавшимися с патологией человека [19,20].…”
