Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-abdominal candidiasis (IAC) is difficult to predict in critically ill patients with intra-abdominal infection, leading to the overuse of antifungal treatments. Serum and peritoneal 1.3-beta-D-glucan (sBDG and pBDG) have been proposed to confirm or invalidate the diagnosis of IAC, but clinical studies have reported inconsistent results, notably because of heterogeneous populations with a low IAC prevalence. This study aimed to identify a high-risk IAC population and evaluate pBDG and sBDG in diagnosing IAC. METHODS This prospective multicenter noninterventional French study included consecutive critically ill patients undergoing abdominal surgery for abdominal sepsis. The primary objective was to establish the IAC prevalence. The secondary objective was to explore whether sBDG and pBDG could be used to diagnose IAC. Wako® beta-glucan test (WT, Fujifilm Wako Chemicals Europe, Neuss, Germany) was used for pBDG measurements. WT and Fungitell® beta-D-glucan assay (FA, Associate of Cape Cod, East Falmouth, USA) were used for sBDG measurements. RESULTS Between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2022, 199 patients were included. Patients were predominantly male (63%), with a median age of 66 [54-72] years. The IAC prevalence was 44% (87/199). The main IAC type was secondary peritonitis. Septic shock occurred in 63% of cases. After multivariate analysis, a nosocomial origin was associated with more IAC cases (P = 0.0399). The median pBDG level was significantly elevated in IAC (448 [107.5-1578.0] pg/ml) compared to non-IAC patients (133 [16.0-831.0] pg/ml), P = 0.0021. For a pBDG threshold of 45 pg/ml, the negative predictive value in assessing IAC was 82.3%. The median sBDG level with WT (n = 42) at day 1 was higher in IAC (5 [3.0-9.0] pg/ml) than in non-IAC patients (3 [3.0-3.0] pg/ml), P = 0.012. Similarly, median sBDG level with FA (n = 140) at day 1 was higher in IAC (104 [38.0-211.0] pg/ml) than in non-IAC patients (50 [23.0-141.0] pg/ml), P = 0.009. Combining a peritonitis score < 3, sBDG < 3.3 pg/ml (WT) and pBDG < 45 pg/ml (WT) yielded a negative predictive value of 100%. CONCLUSION In critically ill patients with intra-abdominal infection requiring surgery, the IAC prevalence was 44%. Combining low sBDG and pBDG with a low peritonitis score effectively excluded IAC and could limit unnecessary antifungal agent exposure. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (ID number 03997929, first registered on June 24, 2019).

Intensive Care Antifungal Stewardship Programme Based on T2Candida PCR and Candida Mannan Antigen: A Prospective Study. J Fungi (Basel) 2021; 7:jof7121044. [PMID: 34947026 PMCID: PMC8705527 DOI: 10.3390/jof7121044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2021] [Revised: 12/02/2021] [Accepted: 12/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Non-culture-based biomarkers may improve diagnosis and antifungal treatment (AFT) of invasive candidiasis (IC). We evaluated an antifungal stewardship programme (AFSP) in a prospective intensive care unit (ICU) study, which included T2Candida and Candida mannan antigen (MAg) screening of patients with sepsis and a high risk of IC. Patients with non-neutropenic sepsis and a high risk of IC from two large tertiary ICUs were prospectively included, during a one-year period. IC was classified as proven, likely, possible or unlikely. The AFSP, diagnostic values of T2Candida and MAg, and the consumption of antifungals were evaluated. An amount of 219 patients with 504 T2Candida/MAg samples were included. IC was classified as proven in 29 (13.2%), likely in 7 (3.2%) and possible in 10 (5.5%) patients. Sensitivity/specificity/PPV/NPV values, comparing proven/likely versus unlikely IC, were 47%/100%/94%/90% for BC alone, 50%/97%/75%/90% for T2Candida alone, and 39%/96%/67%/88% for MAg alone. For the combination of T2Candida/MAg taken ≤3 days after AFT initiation, sensitivity/specificity/PPV/NPV was 70%/90%/63%/93%. T2Candida/MAg contributed to early (<3 days) AFT initiation in 13%, early AFT discontinuation in 25% and abstaining from AFT in 24% of patients. No reduction in overall use of AFT during the study period compared with the previous year was observed. An AFSP based on T2Candida and MAg screening contributed to a reduction of unnecessary treatment, but not overall AFT use. The diagnostic performance of T2Candida was lower than previously reported, but increased if T2Candida was combined with MAg.

Alenazy H, Alghamdi A, Pinto R, Daneman N. Candida colonization as a predictor of invasive candidiasis in non-neutropenic ICU patients with sepsis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Int J Infect Dis 2020; 102:357-362. [PMID: 33157294 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijid.2020.10.092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2020] [Revised: 10/26/2020] [Accepted: 10/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Candida colonization is a risk factor for the development of invasive candidiasis. This study sought to estimate the magnitude of this association, and determine if this information can be used to guide empirical antifungal therapy initiation in critically ill septic patients. METHODS PubMed/MEDLINE and Embase were systematically reviewed for all published studies evaluating predictors of invasive candidiasis in ICU patients with sepsis. Meta-analysis was used to determine the pooled odds ratio for invasive candidiasis among colonized versus non-colonized patients. Sensitivity (SN), specificity (SP), positive and negative predictive values (PPV, NPV), and positive and negative likelihood ratios (+LR, -LR) were then calculated by considering the presence/absence of Candida colonization as the diagnostic test, and the presence/absence of invasive candidiasis as the disease of interest. RESULTS Out of 9825 patients in the 10 eligible studies, 3886 (40%) were colonized with Candida and 462 patients (4.7%) developed invasive candidiasis. Meta-analysis indicated that critically ill patients with sepsis who are colonized with candida are more likely to develop invasive candidiasis (odds ratio 3.32; 95% CI 1.68-6.58) compared with non-colonized patients. The pooled SN was 75.2% (95% CI 59.6-86.2%), while the pooled SP was 49.2% (95% CI 33.2-65.3%).The NPV of Candida colonization was high (96.9%; 95% CI 92.0-98.9%), but the PPV was low (9.1%; 95% CI 5.5-14.6%). CONCLUSION Candida colonization is strongly associated with the likelihood of invasive candidiasis among ICU patients with sepsis. Available data argue against initiating empirical antifungal treatment in non-neutropenic septic patients without prior documented Candida colonization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Decision to start an anti-fungal therapy in intra-abdominal candidiasis (IAC) is complex. Yeast culture, considered the gold standard, suffers from a delayed response time and exposes the patient to delayed introduction of anti-fungal therapy. We sought to evaluate the performance and feasibility of measuring 1,3-β-D-glucan (1,3-BDG) in the peritoneal fluid (PF) for the diagnosis of IAC. METHODS We analyzed retrospectively all PF obtained during abdominal surgery for critically ill adult patients presenting intra-abdominal infections. For each PF sample, direct examination, bacterial and fungal culture, fungal PCR and 1,3-BDG measurements were performed. The diagnostic performance of each technique and the Peritonitis score were calculated considering the positive yeast culture as the reference. The levels of 1,3-BDG were compared between IAC and non-IAC patients. RESULTS During an 8-month period in 2016, 33 PF samples were recovered. Median (interquartile range) SAPS 2 and SOFA scores were 44 (9-94) and 9 (4-15), respectively. There were seven cases of IAC, 14 of bacterial peritonitis and 12 of undocumented peritonitis. All IAC cases were secondary peritonitis, with a 1,3-BDG level of 1461 (325-5000) versus 224 (68-1357) pg/mL in the non-IAC group (P=0.03). When the 1,3-BDG level was ≤310 pg/mL, its negative predictive value was 100%. CONCLUSIONS In secondary peritonitis, a peritoneal measurement of 1,3-BDG ≤310 pg/mL could rule out IAC.
