Utility of in-house fluconazole disk diffusion susceptibility testing in the treatment of candidemia

Abstract: Among 302 first candidemia episodes, 210 (69.6%) were initially treated with an echinocandin or polyene (E/P) antifungal drug. In 137 (72.5%) patients with fluconazole-susceptible isolates, treatment was changed to fluconazole based on disk diffusion susceptibility testing. Clinical outcomes were not compromised in patients receiving E/P who were de-escalated to fluconazole for treatment of candidemia based on disk diffusion results.

Devido a essa barreira, Kubiak et al 14 , em sua observação, fez a mudança do fluconazol para equinocandina ou polieno no tratamento dos pacientes com sensibilidade.…”
