Is the Candida culture relevant?What would you do next?
Would you treat?

Prophylaxis• Reduces rates of colonisation to candidemia• May reduce mortality from candidemia
• Probably helpful if– High levels of candidemia– Other infection controls measures are enforced– High risk individuals

Pre-emptive treatment• Very few studies

Risk factors in critical illness• Steroids (odds ratio = 4.5)
– Prolonged corticosteroids treatment prior to ICU– Steroid treatment with a duration of 7 days
• Immunosuppressive therapy• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (odds ratio = 2.9)• Liver cirrhosis• Solid-organ cancer• HIV• Severe burns• Prolonged stay in the ICU (>21 days)• Malnutrition• Post–cardiac surgery status

Critical illness – risk factor?
• Compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome – Monocyte/macrophage deactivation– Neutrophil deactivation– HLA-DR antigen expression– Loss of antigen-presenting capacity– synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines
![Page 36: Fungal infections in critically ill patients](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062317/586e08cf1a28ab98698b66aa/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Environment
• Pulmonary colonisation prior to ICU– Lobectomy, PM for unexpected cardiac death– 30/74 (41%) patients with Aspergillus species
• Environmental contamination– High concentration of air-bourne spores
Lass-Florl et al. BJH. 1999; 104:745-7

Respiratory tract samples• Colonisation or IPA?
• 172 patients, Belgium ICUs, 7 years– 89 colonisation– 83 IPA (EORTC/MSG criteria)
• Poor positive predicative value for IPA• But…………………

• 110 ICU admission, IPA by EORTC/MSG criteria• 1/3 hematological malignancy interpret with care• BAL GM probably useful; Serum GM probably not

Imaging• CT
– Frequently absent– Halo sign, air
crescent sign and nodules much more common in neutropenic patients
– Difficult to interpret with ARDS

Other diagnostic tests• PCR
– Not evaluated in critically ill patients
• Biopsy– Gold standard– Difficult!
![Page 42: Fungal infections in critically ill patients](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062317/586e08cf1a28ab98698b66aa/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Diagnosis in critical illness• High risk patients• Pulmonary infiltrates and fever, not
responding to appropriate antibacterial agents
• ± some concern that Aspergillus may be a diagnostic possibility– Recent unidentified case which died– Isolation of Aspergillus from respiratory tract
![Page 43: Fungal infections in critically ill patients](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062317/586e08cf1a28ab98698b66aa/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Treatment in ICU• IDSA recommendations but little evidence in
critically ill
• Voriconazole– Hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity– IV formulation – cyclodextran– Substrate and inhibitor CYP2C19, 2C9 and 3A4– bioavailabity with fat – requires empty stomach – TDM
![Page 44: Fungal infections in critically ill patients](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062317/586e08cf1a28ab98698b66aa/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Treatment in ICU• Lipid preparations of Amphotericin B
– Less nephrotoxic than deoxycholate
• Eichinocandin– Salvage therapy
• Combination
![Page 45: Fungal infections in critically ill patients](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062317/586e08cf1a28ab98698b66aa/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Summary• Candida and Aspergillus increasingly
recognised as ICU pathogens• Increased morbidity and mortality• High index of suspicion• Diagnostic strategy (clinical, radiology, lab)• Treatment is complicated
– ADR, interactions
