RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the clinical laboratory characteristic of Candida albicans caused antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) .Methods 100 cases of AAD were selected .Based on the results ,they were divided into Candida albicans group and non-Candida albicans group .The levels of sodium ,potassium ,fasting blood-glucose and albumin ,investigation of antimicrobial usage were compared in two groups .Results Candida albicans were detected in 42 cases .The levels of sodium ,potassium and fasting blood-glucose in the Candida albicans group were significantly higher than those in non-Candida albicans group(P<0 .01) ,and al-bumin were significantly lower than that in non-Candida albicans group(P< 0 .01) .The rate of two or more antibiotic usage in Candida albicans group was significantly higher than that in non-Candida albicans group(P<0 .05) .The drug resistance rates of fluconazole ,itraconazole ,voriconazole ,amphotericin B and flucytosine in Candida albicans group were significantly lower than those in non-Candida albicans group(P<0 .05) ,and the antibiotic sensitive rates of fluconazole ,itraconazole ,voriconazole ,amphotericin B and flucytosine in Candida albicans group were significantly higher than those in non-Candida albicans group(P<0 .05) .The drug resistance rates of vancomycin and macrodantin in Candida albicans group were significantly higher than those in non-Candida al-bicans group(P<0 .01) ,and the antibiotic sensitive rates of vancomycin and macrodantin in Candida albicans group were signifi-cantly lower than those in non-Candida albicans group(P<0 .01) .Conclusion For AAD cases ,the fecal culture can provide exper-imental basis for clinical treatment and avoid the abuse of antibiotics .
