Prevalence of Ocular Candidiasis and Candida Endophthalmitis in Patients With Candidemia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Clin Infect Dis 2023; 76:1738-1749. [PMID: 36750934 PMCID: PMC10411939 DOI: 10.1093/cid/ciad064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 12/29/2022] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Infectious diseases and ophthalmology professional societies have disagreed regarding ocular screening in patients with candidemia. We aimed to summarize the current evidence on the prevalence of ocular candidiasis (OC) and Candida endophthalmitis (CE) according to the standardized definitions. METHODS A literature search was conducted from the inception date through 16 October 2022 using PubMed, Embase, and SCOPUS. Pooled prevalence of ocular complications was derived from generalized linear mixed models (PROSPERO CRD42022326610). RESULTS A total of 70 and 35 studies were included in the meta-analysis for OC and concordant CE (chorioretinitis with vitreous involvement), respectively. This study represented 8599 patients with candidemia who underwent ophthalmologic examination. Pooled prevalences (95% CI) of OC, overall CE, concordant CE, and discordant CE were 10.7% (8.4-13.5%), 3.1% (2.1-4.5%), 1.8% (1.3-2.6%), and 7.4% (4.5-12%) of patients screened, respectively. Studies from Asian countries had significantly higher concordant CE prevalence (95% CI) of patients screened (3.6%; 2.9-4.6%) compared with studies from European countries (1.4%; .4-5%) and American countries (1.4%; .9-2.2%) (P <.01). Presence of total parenteral nutrition and Candida albicans was associated with CE, with pooled odds ratios (95% CI) of 6.92 (3.58-13.36) and 3.02 (1.67-5.46), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Prevalence of concordant CE overall and among Asian countries was 2 and 4 times higher than the prevalence previously reported by the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) of <0.9%, respectively. There is an urgent need to study optimal screening protocols and to establish joint recommendations by the Infectious Diseases Society of America and AAO.

Wang K, Krishnan G, Pershing S. Ophthalmology Consultation to Detect Endogenous Endophthalmitis: Clinical Characteristics in Consulted Versus Diagnosed Cases Among At-Risk Inpatients. Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina 2020; 51:159-A3. [PMID: 32211906 DOI: 10.3928/23258160-20200228-05] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2018] [Accepted: 12/09/2019] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Predisposing factors for ophthalmology consultations and endogenous endophthalmitis were compared among inpatients with systemic infection. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study in a tertiary care hospital between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2014. Multivariable logistic regression was utilized. RESULTS There were 9,527 encounters identified with systemic infection. The 5-year incidence rate was 8.4% (803/9,527) for consultations and 0.3% (25/9,527) for endophthalmitis. Factors most associated with consultations included positive fungal blood cultures and HIV. Factors most associated with endophthalmitis included positive blood fungal cultures and endocarditis. Four of 25 endophthalmitis patients lacked positive blood cultures; six of 20 endophthalmitis patients with adequate mentation were asymptomatic. CONCLUSIONS Positive blood fungal cultures were strongly associated with both endophthalmitis and consultations. Endocarditis was strongly associated with endophthalmitis but less associated with consultation and may warrant increased attention. Neither presence of symptoms nor positive cultures may be sufficiently accurate to determine need for consultation. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2020;51:159-169.].

Abstract
In a newborn with candidemia, two retinal lesions were seen without external inflammatory signs or reaction in the anterior chamber or vitreous. However, handheld spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (HH SD-OCT) images show that one of the retinal lesions had a “firework display” projecting to the vitreous that was not identified in indirect ophthalmoscopy. This finding suggested a Candida endophthalmitis. HH SD-OCT findings allowed us to make an accurate diagnosis and, therefore, modified the decision-making process in the treatment of the pathology.

Infection 2018; 46:635-640. [PMID: 29959658 DOI: 10.1007/s15010-018-1163-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2018] [Accepted: 06/05/2018] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Endogenous fungal endophthalmitis (EFE) is a severe consequence of candidemia. The prevalence of, and risk factors for, EFE is not well studied. METHODS We retrospectively collected cases of patients with candidemia who had undergone ophthalmological examination between April 2011 and March 2016 in five regional hospitals. We conducted bivariate and multivariate analyses using patients' age, gender, causative Candida species, diabetes status, corticosteroid use, cancer status, neutropenia, intensive care unit admission, presence of central venous catheter (CVC), presence of shock, prior antibiotic use, 30-day mortality, and highest Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score. Data on sustained positive blood culture, β-D glucan, CVC removal, empirical antifungal drug used, and time to appropriate antifungal therapy were also collected if available. RESULTS Of 174 patients with candidemia, 35 (20.1%) were diagnosed with EFE, including 31 (17.8%) with chorioretinitis and 4 (2.3%) with vitritis. Bivariate analysis (EFE group vs. non-EFE group) found that Candida albicans candidemia (77.1 vs. 34.5%, P < 0.001), neutropenia (14.3 vs. 5.8%, P = 0.141), CVC placement (94.3 vs. 71.2%, P = 0.004), and the presence of shock (28.6 vs. 16.5%, P = 0.145) were each higher in the EFE group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis found C. albicans candidemia (adjusted odds ratio 6.48; [95% CI 2.63-15.95]) and CVC placement (7.55 [1.56-36.53]) to be significant risk factors for EFE. CONCLUSIONS Candida albicans is the most common causative agent for Candida EFE. Patients with candidemia and CVC placement should be closely monitored by ophthalmologists.
