Abstract
Purpose Some publications suggest high rates of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and of nosocomial pneumonia portending a poor prognosis in ICU cancer patients. A better understanding of the epidemiology of HAIs in these patients is needed. Methods A retrospective analysis of all the patients hospitalized for ≥ 48 h during a 12-year period in the 12-bed ICU of the Gustave Roussy hospital, monitored prospectively for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and bloodstream infection (BSI) and for use of medical devices. Results During 3388 first stays in the ICU, 198 cases of VAP and 103 primary, 213 secondary, and 77 catheter-related BSIs were recorded. The VAP rate was 24.5/1000 ventilator days (95% confidence interval [CI] 21.2–28.0); the catheter-related BSI rate was 2.3/1000 catheter days (95% CI 1.8–2.8). The cumulative incidence during the first 25 days of exposure was 58.8% (95% CI 49.1–66.6%) for VAP, 8.9% (95% CI, 6.2–11.5%) for primary, 15.1% (95% CI 11.6–18.5%) for secondary and 5.0% (95% CI 3.2–6.8%) for catheter-related BSIs. VAP or BSIs were not associated with a higher risk of ICU mortality. Conclusions This is the first study to report HAI rates in a large cohort of critically ill cancer patients. Although both the incidence of VAP and the rate of BSI are higher than in general ICU populations, this does not impact patient outcomes. The occurrence of device-associated infections is essentially due to severe medical conditions in patients and to the characteristics of malignancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Candida bloodstream infections most often affect those already suffering serious, potentially life-threatening conditions and often cause significant morbidity and mortality. Most affected persons have a central venous catheter (CVC) in place. The best CVC management in these cases has been widely debated in recent years, while the incidence of candidaemia has markedly increased. OBJECTIVES The main purpose of this review is to examine the impact of removing versus retaining a CVC on mortality in adults and children with candidaemia who have a CVC in place. SEARCH METHODS We searched the following databases from inception to 3 December 2015: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE (Ovid SP), EMBASE (Ovid SP), the Commonwealth Agricultural Bureau (CAB), Web of Science and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL). We searched for missed, unreported and ongoing trials in trial registries and in reference lists of excluded articles. SELECTION CRITERIA We searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs involving adults and children with candidaemia and in which participants were randomized for removal of a CVC (the intervention under study), irrespective of publication status, date of publication, blinding status, outcomes published or language.However, two major factors make the conduct of RCTs in this population a difficult task: the large sample size required to document the impact of catheter removal in terms of overall mortality; and lack of economic interest from the industry in conducting such a trial. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Our primary outcome measure was mortality. Several secondary outcome measures such as required time for clearance of blood cultures for Candida species, frequency of persistent candidaemia, complications, duration of mechanical ventilation and length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) and in the hospital were planned, as were various subgroup and sensitivity analyses, according to our protocol. We assessed papers and abstracts for eligibility and resolved disagreements by discussion. However, we were not able to include any RCTs or quasi-RCTS in this review and, as a result, have carried out no meta-analyses. However, we have chosen to provide a brief overview of excluded observational studies. MAIN RESULTS We found no RCT and thus no available data for evaluation of the primary outcome (mortality) nor secondary outcomes or adverse effects. Therefore, we conducted no statistical analysis.A total of 73 observational studies reported on various clinically relevant outcomes following catheter removal or catheter retention. Most of these excluded, observational studies reported a beneficial effect of catheter removal in patients with candidaemia. None of the observational studies reported results in favour of retaining a catheter. However, the observational studies were very heterogeneous with regards to population, pathogens and interventions. Furthermore, they suffered from confounding by indication and an overall high risk of bias. As a consequence, we are not able to provide recommendations or to draw firm conclusions because of the difficulties involved in interpreting the results of these observational studies (very low quality of evidence, GRADE - Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation Working Group). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Despite indications from observational studies in favour of early catheter removal, we found no eligible RCTs or quasi-RCTs to support these practices and therefore could draw no firm conclusions. At this stage, RCTs have provided no evidence to support the benefit of early or late catheter removal for survival or other important outcomes among patients with candidaemia; no evidence with regards to assessment of harm or benefit with prompt central venous catheter removal and subsequent re-insertion of new catheters to continue treatment; and no evidence on optimal timing of insertion of a new central venous catheter.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The increasing incidence of Candida spp., and the vital prognosis often compromise for patients with Candida species make urgent the exact knowledge of their distribution worldwide and exhaust action antifungals currently used in clinical. That why we carry out an epidemiological study of Candida species and testing their susceptibility against two antifungals: amphotericin B and caspofungin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Samplings of peripheral venous catheters (PVC) were carried out from during 8months on the services of Internal medicine, Surgery A and Neonatology of Oran's University Hospital Center (UHC). The study of the susceptibility of Candida species to antifungal agents was performed according to the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI 2008). RESULTS From 300 samples, 25 yeasts were isolated. The rate of colonization PVC was 8.33% by Candida spp. The most isolated strains were Candida parapsilosis with 64% of cases, followed by Candida albicans (12%) then 8% for Candida glabrata and Candida krusei. However, only 4% of isolates were Candida famata or Candida lusitaniae. Furthermore all isolated strains were susceptible to amphotericin B with Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) ranging from 0.25 to 1μg/mL. MIC obtained with caspofungin vary from 0.0625 to 2μg/mL for all strains. Moreover, one strain of C. krusei is resistant to caspofungin with a MIC superior to 8μg/mL. CONCLUSION All though caspofungin is at least as effective as amphotericin B, it is better tolerated for the treatment of invasive fungal infections.

Abstract
Infections by Candida species are a high-impact problem in public
health due to their wide incidence in hospitalized patients. The goal of this study
was to evaluate frequency, susceptibility to antifungals, and genetic polymorphism of
Candida species isolated from clinical specimens of hospitalized
patients. The Candida isolates included in this study were obtained
from blood cultures, abdominal fluids, and central venous catheters (CVC) of
hospitalized patients at the Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of
Uberlândia during the period of July 2010 - June 2011. Susceptibility tests were
conducted by the broth microdilution method. The RAPD-PCR tests used employed
initiator oligonucleotides OPA09, OPB11, and OPE06. Of the 63
Candida isolates, 18 (28.5%) were C. albicans,
20 (31.7%) were C. parapsilosis complex species, 14 (22.2%)
C. tropicalis, four (6.4%) C. glabrata, four
(6.4%) C. krusei, two (3.3%) C. kefyr, and one
(1.6%) C. lusitaniae. In vitro resistance to
amphotericin B was observed in 12.7% of isolates. In vitroresistance
to azoles was not detected, except for C. krusei. The two primers,
OPA09 and OPB11, were able to distinguish different species. Isolates of C.
albicans and C. parapsilosis complex species presented
six and five clusters, respectively, with the OPA09 marker by RAPD-PCR, showing the
genetic variability of the isolates of those species. It was concluded that members
of the C. parapsilosis complex were the most frequent species found,
and most isolates were susceptible to the antifungals amphotericin B, flucozanole,
and itraconazole. High genetic polymorphisms were observed for isolates of C.
albicans and C. parapsilosis complex species, mainly
with the OPA09 marker.

Abstract
Los servicios de reanimación deben organizar de forma minuciosa la prevención de infecciones en sus enfermos, ya que éstos suelen estar inmunodeprimidos, están sometidos a múltiples procedimientos invasivos realizados por un personal sanitario variado, a menudo en situaciones de urgencia y a cualquier hora del día o de la noche. Las principales infecciones que hay que tratar de prevenir son las neumonías bacterianas adquiridas asociadas a ventilación mecánica (NAVM), las infecciones relacionadas con catéteres intravasculares y las infecciones urinarias asociadas al sondeo vesical. La incidencia de estas infecciones ha disminuido en la mayoría de los servicios que realizan un control cifrado, sobre todo gracias a la implantación de programas de mejora de la calidad. Las técnicas de prevención son múltiples y deben aplicarse simultáneamente. Incluyen medidas globales, como las modalidades de prevención de la transmisión cruzada (higiene de las manos, sobre todo) o de uso de antibióticos, concebidas para reducir la presión de selección de bacterias resistentes a éstos, así como medidas específicas relativas a la colocación y uso de cada uno de los dispositivos invasivos. Numerosas técnicas han demostrado su eficacia en estudios de buen nivel metodológico (higiene de las manos, apósitos para catéteres, etc.), mientras que otras siguen siendo objeto de controversias, por lo que las recomendaciones nacionales e internacionales se actualizan regularmente de acuerdo con los nuevos datos científicos. Estas medidas, implantadas de manera razonada en el marco de programas de mejora de la calidad, permiten obtener tasas muy bajas de infecciones relacionadas con el uso de catéteres vasculares y resultados menos satisfactorios con las NAVM, que justifican la necesidad de proseguir la investigación en este campo.

Abstract
I servizi di rianimazione devono organizzare la prevenzione delle infezioni nei loro pazienti in modo minuzioso, in quanto i pazienti sono spesso immunodepressi e subiscono gesti invasivi molteplici, realizzati da personale differente, spesso in situazioni di urgenza e a qualsiasi ora del giorno o della notte. Le principali infezioni che bisogna tentare di prevenire sono le polmoniti batteriche acquisite sotto ventilazione meccanica (PAVM), le infezioni su cateteri intravascolari e le infezioni urinarie su catetere vescicale. L’incidenza di queste infezioni è diminuita nella maggior parte dei servizi che ne effettuano un monitoraggio su base numerica, in particolare nel quadro di programmi di miglioramento della qualità. Le tecniche di prevenzione sono molteplici e devono essere applicate simultaneamente. Esse riguardano delle misure globali, come le modalità di prevenzione della trasmissione crociata (igiene delle mani, in particolare) o di utilizzo degli antibiotici nella prospettiva di ridurre la pressione di selezione di batteri resistenti agli antibiotici, così come delle misure specifiche relative al posizionamento e all’utilizzo di ciascuno dei dispositivi invasivi. Numerose tecniche si sono dimostrate efficaci in studi di buon livello metodologico (igiene delle mani, medicazioni dei cateteri, ecc.) mentre altre sono ancora oggetto di controversie, portando a raccomandazioni nazionali e internazionali regolarmente aggiornate in funzione dei nuovi dati scientifici. Queste misure, implementate in modo ragionato nel quadro di programmi di miglioramento della qualità, consentono di ottenere dei tassi molto bassi per quanto riguarda le infezioni dei cateteri vascolari e dei risultati meno buoni per le PAVM, illustrando la necessità di proseguire la ricerca in questo settore.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Description of the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the patients introducing risk factors of invasive candidiasis. Analysis of risk factors for candidiasis invasive and evaluation of the contribution of colonization index (CI) in the diagnosis of the systematic candidiasis in medical intensive care. PATIENTS AND METHODS Prospective observational study (October 2007 to October 2009). The selected patients present risk factors of system IC candidiasis with an infectious syndrome or clinical signs suggestive of Candida infection and hospitalized more than 48 hours in medical intensive care unit. Pittet's colonization index was calculated at admission and then once a week added to a blood culture. Patients were classified according to level of evidence of Candida infection and the degree of colonization (CI<0.5, CI ≥ 0.5). RESULTS The study included 100 patients. Mean age of our patients was 55.8 ± 18.2 years with male prevalence. Neurological disease was the most frequent pathology in admission (48%). The most common risk factors were broad-spectrum antibiotics and foreign material. In the various mycology IC specimens, Candida albicans was the most frequent, followed by C. tropicalis, then C. glabrata. The CI was greater than or equal to 0.5 at 53% of the patients, and less than 0.5 in 47% of the cases. Among the patients, 15% developed an invasive candidiasis. In multivariate analysis, the corticosteroid therapy was associated with a high colonisation (IC ≥ 0.5) and neutropenia with a high risk of systemic candidiasis. The positive predictive value of CI was 26%. The negative predictive value was 98%, the sensitivity and specificity was 93% and 48% respectively. CONCLUSION CI has the advantage to provide a quantified data of the patient's situation in relation to the colonization. But, it isn't helpful with patients having an invasive candidiasis in medical intensive care unit.

Abstract
Invasive candidiasis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. It is now well known that an early diagnosis contributes to the patients' outcome. Blood cultures, which are the first-line test in case of bloodstream infection suspicion, can be carried out using fungus-selective medium (containing antibiotics) or standard microorganism medium allowing both bacterial and fungal growth. Some patients can suffer from polymicrobial sepsis involving bacteria and yeasts, so we decided to investigate in blood cultures the influence of the presence of bacteria on fungal development. Simulated blood cultures were performed using Candida albicans or C. glabrata coincubated with Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus aureus at different concentrations. The results showed that, in a standard microorganism medium, bacterial growth could hide the fungal development. Thus, in patients at risk of invasive candidiasis, the use of a specific fungal medium could improve the diagnosis and allow an earlier efficient antifungal treatment.

Abstract
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a mortalidade relacionada às infecções no uso de cateter venoso central em recém-nascidos e crianças hospitalizadas. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática, cujos estudos foram identificados nas bases de dados Medline, Embase, Lilacs, Cinahl, SciELO e Cochrane, em referências bibliográficas de artigos e outras revisões. Dois revisores independentes identificaram os estudos relevantes, analisaram a qualidade metodológica e, posteriormente, os dados foram extraídos. RESULTADOS: Foram encontrados 1.000 artigos, dos quais 16 se relacionavam à infecção de cateter e só dois mencionaram mortalidade. Dos estudos achados, verificou-se que a sepse primária foi a principal complicação relacionada ao uso de cateter venoso central, e sendo os micro-organismos mais prevalentes nestas infecções a Candida sp e Enterococcus sp com impacto significante para a mortalidade em neonatos e crianças. CONCLUSÃO: Observou-se nesta revisão que a sepse primária foi a complicação mais prevalente relacionada ao cateter central.

Abstract
Invasive candidiasis ranges from 5 to 10 cases per 1,000 ICU admissions and represents 5% to 10% of all ICU-acquired infections, with an overall mortality comparable to that of severe sepsis/septic shock. A large majority of them are due to Candida albicans, but the proportion of strains with decreased sensitivity or resistance to fluconazole is increasingly reported. A high proportion of ICU patients become colonized, but only 5% to 30% of them develop an invasive infection. Progressive colonization and major abdominal surgery are common risk factors, but invasive candidiasis is difficult to predict and early diagnosis remains a major challenge. Indeed, blood cultures are positive in a minority of cases and often late in the course of infection. New nonculture-based laboratory techniques may contribute to early diagnosis and management of invasive candidiasis. Both serologic (mannan, antimannan, and betaglucan) and molecular (Candida-specific PCR in blood and serum) have been applied as serial screening procedures in high-risk patients. However, although reasonably sensitive and specific, these techniques are largely investigational and their clinical usefulness remains to be established. Identification of patients susceptible to benefit from empirical antifungal treatment remains challenging, but it is mandatory to avoid antifungal overuse in critically ill patients. Growing evidence suggests that monitoring the dynamic of Candida colonization in surgical patients and prediction rules based on combined risk factors may be used to identify ICU patients at high risk of invasive candidiasis susceptible to benefit from prophylaxis or preemptive antifungal treatment.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY To determine the prevalence of C. parapsilosis sensu stricto, C. orthopsilosis and C. metapsilosis among candidemia at Nantes University Hospital and to evaluate the in vitro susceptibility of the isolates against three echinocandin drugs (caspofungin, micafungin and anidulafungin). MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective study (march 2004 to july 2009) of 178 cases of candidemia corresponding to 183 Candida spp. strains identified by means of routine phenotypical methods. Re-identification of C. parapsilosis sensu lato isolates was performed by ITS rDNA sequencing analysis. Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined by E-test(®). All echinocandin non-susceptible isolates (MIC>2 μg/mL) were analyzed for the presence/absence of FKS1 mutations associated with resistance. RESULTS During this period, C. parapsilosis sensu lato was responsible for 27 candidemia, ranging at the second most common Candida species after C. albicans (n=99, 54.1%). Neither isolates belong to C. orthopsilosis nor C. metapsilosis. According to the literature, all the isolates displayed high MICs against the three echinocandin drugs. All the isolates displayed both susceptibility (MIC ≤ 2 μg/mL) and a good agreement between MICs read at 24h and 48 h for caspofungin and micafungin (MIC(50)=0.75 μg/mL, MIC(90)=1.5 μg/mL). Surprisingly, whereas most of the strains were susceptible to anidulafungin at 24h (MIC(50)=1 μg/mL, MIC(90)=1.5 μg/mL), 14 (52 %) displayed non-susceptibility, despite the lack of mutation associated with resistance on FKS1, when reading was performed at 48 h (MIC(50)=3 μg/mL, MIC(90)=12 μg/mL). CONCLUSION Prevalence of C. orthopsilosis and C. metapsilosis in patients with candidemia is low at Nantes University Hospital. The difficulty encountered with MIC reading by E-test(®) are discussed.

Abstract
Systemic candidiasis is a fungal infection which coupled with solid malignancies places patients at high risk of succumbing to the disease. Few studies have shown evidence of the relationship between systemic candidiasis and malignancy-induced immunosuppression disease especially in breast cancer. At present, animal studies that exclusively demonstrate this relationship have yet to be conducted. The exact causative mechanism of systemic candidiasis is currently under much speculation. This study therefore aimed to demonstrate this relationship by observing the histopathological changes of organs harvested from female Balb/c mice which were experimentally induced with breast cancer and inoculated with systemic candidiasis. The mice were randomly assigned to five different groups (n=12). The first group (group 1) was injected with phosphate buffer solution, the second (group 2) with systemic candidiasis, the third (group 3) with breast cancer and the final two groups (groups 4 and 5) had both candidiasis and breast cancer at two different doses of candidiasis, respectively. Inoculation of mice with systemic candidiasis was performed by an intravenous injection of Candida albicans via the tail vein following successful culture methods. Induction of mice with breast cancer occurred via injection of 4T1 cancer cells at the right axillary mammary fatpad after effective culture methods. The prepared slides with organ tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, periodic acidic schiff and gomori methenamine silver stains for a histopathological analysis. Grading of primary tumour and identification of metastatic deposits, as well as scoring of inflammation and congestion in all the respective organs was conducted. Statistical tests performed to compare groups 2 and 4 showed that group 4 exhibited a highly statistically significant increase in organ inflammation and congestion (p<0.01). The median severity of candidiasis in the kidneys and liver also increased in group 4 as compared to group 2. In conclusion, based on the above evidence, systemic candidiasis significantly increased in mice with breast cancer.
