RESUMEN
RESUMEN Actualmente asistimos a un cambio constante y continuo del panorama epidemiológico de la resistencia de levaduras a antifúngicos, relacionado con el tipo de huésped, la etiología de la enfermedad, el microorganismo involucrado y sus mecanismos de resistencia. Esta situación epidemiológica hace más complicado el manejo de los pacientes con infecciones del torrente sanguíneo por especies del género Candida. Observándose una alta mortalidad, incremento en el uso de antifúngicos, así como el desarrollo de métodos fiables para realizar estudios de sensibilidad. Por tanto, es importante la vigilancia local y regional para conocer el perfil de sensibilidad y la distribución de especies de Candida, con la finalidad de instaurar una terapia antifúngica adecuada.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT We are currently witnessing a constant and ongoing change of the epidemiological pictures of yeast resistance to antifungal agents, related to the type of host, etiology of the disease, the microorganism involved, and its mechanisms of resistance. This epidemiological situation complicates management of patients with infections of the bloodstream due to species of the genus Candida, exhibiting a high mortality and an increase in the use of anti-fungal agents, as well as the need to develop reliable methods to conduct sensitivity studies. Therefore, local and regional monitoring is important in order to know the sensitivity profile and the distribution of Candida species so as to start an adequate anti-fungal therapy.
