Objective To investigate the risk factors for end-stage liver disease (ESLD) complicated with fungal esophagitis (FE). Methods The clinical data of ESLD patients who underwent gastroscopy during their hospitalization in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The ESLD patients with FE were selected as the study group, and the ESLD patients without FE during the same period were included as the control group by 1∶2 propensity score matching method. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of ESLD complicated with FE. Results A total of 75 ESLD patients with FE and 150 ESLD patients without FE were enrolled. There was no significant difference in age, gender, decompensated cirrhosis, liver cancer, diabetes mellitus, or etiology of ESLD between the two groups (P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that longer hospital stay [odds ratio (OR)=1.115, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.069, 1.164)], with invasive procedures [OR=10.820, 95%CI (4.393, 26.647)], and higher total bilirubin [OR=1.015, 95%CI (1.005, 1.024)] were risk factors for ESLD complicated with FE (P<0.05). In the study group, 41 patients were treated with antifungal drugs, and 4 of them developed invasive fungal infection. Among the 34 patients who did not receive antifungal drugs, 10 developed invasive fungal infection. Conclusions ESLD patients with longer hospital stay, worse liver function, and invasive procedures are more likely to develop FE, and regular gastroscopy should be performed. Once FE is found, active antifungal treatment should be taken to reduce the occurrence of invasive fungal infection and improve the prognosis of patients.
摘要:目的: 探討我院呼吸內科病房老年肺部疾病患者并發真菌感染發病的相關因素,分析其易患因素、臨床特征和治療。 方法 : 采用回顧性調查方法對2002年1月至2008年6月收住內科的經微生物檢查證實49例繼發真菌感染的患者進行分析,并與同期無真菌感染的肺部疾病患者(對照組)比較。 結果 : 在呼吸內科病房中,老年患者院內肺部真菌感染發生率為378%,主要感染部位為泌尿系(218%),呼吸道(269%),消化道(409%)。慢性阻塞性肺疾病(498%)是繼發院內肺部真菌感染最常見的基礎疾病,其感染因素為長期使用廣譜抗生素(962%)和糖皮質激素(332%)、營養狀況不良(583%)出現低蛋白血癥及合并糖尿病、白細胞減少和侵襲性診療操作等。肺部真菌感染的臨床表現無特異性,確診需結合痰培養,組織病理學和臨床表現來確定,感染菌種以白色念珠菌為主,占626%。氟康唑治療有效率914%。研究組與同期無真菌感染的肺部疾病患者(對照組)比較:病死率分別為612%和082%,兩組治療無效的病例(惡化和死亡病例)比較差異有顯著性。 結論 : 院內真菌是呼吸系統疾病繼發感染的重要病原體,而白色假絲酵母菌是院內肺部真菌感染的主要致病菌,宿主免疫狀態、感染播散和疾病嚴重程度是影響預后的因素。該研究認為老年肺部疾病患者并發真菌感染的相關因素和影響預后的因素對其預防、診斷、治療、改進預后和生存質量有重要的臨床意義。除有效的抗真菌治療外,積極的綜合治療有助于提高真菌感染的治愈率。Abstract: Objective: To study the susceptible factors,clinical features and treatments of nosocomial pulmonary fungal infection in the ward of respiratory department.〖WTHZ〗Methods : The chart files of 49 patients with nosocomial pulmonary fungal infection admitted from January 2002 to June 2008 in the ward of Respiratory Department were reviewed. Results : The incidence rate of nosocomial pulmonary fungal infection was 378%.COPD(498%)was the main predisposing disease,and candidiasis(626%) was the most common pathogen. The main susceptible factors associated with nosocomial pulmonary fungal infection are longterm use of broadspectrum antibiotics(962%),hypoalbuminemia(583%),longterm use of adrenocortical steroid(332%),and diabetes mellitus.There is no specific clinical feature.Fluconazole(914%)is more efficient in the treatment.〖WTHZ〗Conclusion : Nosocomial pulmonary fungis are important pathogenin the secondary infection in respiratory disease.The most common pathogen is candida albicans.Combined therapy as well as treating fungus infection are important measures to increase the cure rate of nosocomial pulmonary fungal infection.
Objective To explore the diagnosis value of the low dose multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) imaging in pulmonary fungal infection in order to improve its diagnosis level. Methods CT manifestations of 106 cases of pulmonary fungal infection confirmed by operation, pathology, mycetes cultivation and follow-ups of clinical therapy were retrospectively analyzed. All cases underwent low dose MSCT examinations including CARE dose 4D and sinogram affirmed iterative reconstruction technology, and 6 cases underwent contrast-enhanced CT scanning. Results Among the basic MSCT findings of pulmonary fungal infection, they showed patch-nodular type in 54 cases, solid variant in 38 cases, and tumor type in 14 cases. In all cases, 91 cases displayed as mulifocality, 83 cases as polymorphism and 78 cases as polytropy. Among the 106 cases with comparative distinctive MSCT manifestations, bud of branch sign were showed in 39 cases, halo sign in 32 cases, wedge shape consolidation in 19 cases, ice needle sign in 15 cases, crescentic sign in 11 cases, air ring sign in 6 cases, and contra-halo sign in 4 cases. The nodules in the cavities were not enhanced in enhanced scan in 5 cases. Conclusions There are some distinctive MSCT findings in patients with pulmonary fungal infection. Pulmonary fungal infection can be diagnosed with typical MSCT findings in close combination with the clinical information.
Objective To research the anti-fungal spectrum and activity of the cream containing 1% naftifine-0.25% ketoconazole compared with other two creams that contain of 2% ketoconazole and of 1% terbinafine, respectively. Methods The agar diffusion method was used to judge drug sensitivity. Twenty-nine isolates of pathogenic fungi belonging to 11 species from clinic and three species of Malassezia standard stains were enrolled into the experiment. Organism suspension of each species was spread on the surface of the plate of the optimal media containing 2% agar. Then wells were made in the plate and three types of cream were put in each well respectively. After seven-day incubation, the diameter of the inhibition zone around the well full of each cream was observed and recorded. Results The inhibition zone around the well full of 1% naftifine-0.25% ketoconazole cream for all experiment isolates (Dermatophytes, Candida spp., Sporothrix schenkii, Fonsecaea pedrosoi, Fusarium graminearum, Malassezia furfur, M. globosa and M. sympodialis) was observed, with the mean diameter of 45.46mm. Similarly, the mean diameter of inhibition zone of 2% ketoconazole cream for all experiment isolates was 23.92mm. About 1% terbinafine cream, the mean diameter was 29.81mm but there was no inhibition zone observed around Candida krusei and Candida albicans mycelial-form. There were significant significances for mean diameters of the inhibition zone when comparing 1% naftifine-0.25% ketoconazole cream with 2% ketoconazole cream (P=0.000) and with 1% terbinafine cream (P=0.000). Conclusion The anti-fungal spectrum of 1% naftifine-0.25% ketoconazole cream is wider than that of 1% terbinafine cream. The antifungal activity of 1% naftifine-0.25% ketoconazole cream is ber than that of 2% ketoconazole cream and 1% terbinafine cream.
