Of 34 patients with Candida endocarditis (13 definite and 21 possible), 7 were OHCA with an increasing trend when compared with those with IHCA candidemia (Table 2). Study exclusion criteria included invasive aspergillosis in which the disease was limited to allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), aspergilloma, or ocular disease; Candida endocarditis, osteomyelitis, or meningitis; prosthetic device at suspected site of infection not removed within 72 hours; esophageal candidiasis limited to oropharynx and other cause of esophagitis or other esophageal pathology. The use of these drugs may represent an important step in the treatment of invasive systemic Candida infections by enhancing retention of affected intravascular devices and obviating the need for valve surgery in Candida endocarditis (2,19,29). |
