ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To study the relation between mycotic superinfections and use of antimicrobials in senile patients.METHODS:
106 senile in-patients who had mycotic superinfections following administration of antimicrobials were retrospectively analysed.RESULTS:
Most of the senile patients over 60 years of age had severe underlying diseases and hypoimmunity and needed staying hospital for long time.Antimicrobial-induced mycotic superinfection played an important role in leading to mycotic infection in hospital accounting for 84.6% of total mycotic infections in our hospital during the corresponding period.Pulmonary infection was the commonest one and urinary tract infection the next.CONCLUSION:
Long-term use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials is the main contributing factor resulting in increase of mycotic superinfections of senile patients in hospital.
