Fungi distribution and monitoring of drug resistance in cancer hospital / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the flora distribution and drug resistance status of nosocomial fungal infection in cancer hospitals for providing the scientific basis for clinical prevention and control.Methods The related clinical data and results of drug sensitivity tests of fungal infection in hospitalized patients from April 2006 to November 2010 were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsA total of 1011 strains of candida were isolated in five years, in which, Candida albicans (41.6％ on average) were the highest detection rate strains.The proportion of Candida albicans declined from 53.8％ in 2006 to 31.7％ in 2010, while the other non-Candida albicans increased from 46.2％ in 2006 to 68.3％ in 2010.In the General surgery, the Internal medicine,the Hepatobiliary surgery, and the Chinese and Western medicine, the number of candida were more than the other departments.The specimens were mainly isolated from sputum and swab, followed by blood specimens.In vitro susceptibility test results showed that: voriconazole, amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine showed high sensitivity and itraconazole, fluconazole showed high drug resistance to albicans.Conclusion Distribution of pathogens causing nosocomial fungal infection has changed, and the rates of fungal resistance were rising,so this situation should arouse the clinician's attention.
