摘要

Fungal infections are one of the most serious problems in hospitals today. Among them, funguria and urinary infections account for 40% of all the nosocomial infections and over one million new infections in the United States each year. The increase incidence of funguria is associated with risk factors including urinary catheters, treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics, age, gender, diabetes mellitus, and chronic renal failure. Currently the majority of fungal urinary tract infections involve Candia albicans, however, non-albicans Candida and non-Candida yeasts are increasing as the etiological cause. A protocol for the treatment of funguria and urinary infections based on current medical evidence and cost effective therapy for use in the ICU is discussed. Introduction Since the clinical introduction of penicillin, infections with rare or resistant organisms have become more frequent until today when they are considered the norm in infectious diseases.1,2,3,4 One complication observed in modern medicine is an increase rate of fungal infections, and most notably funguria.5,6 Urinary tract infections (UTI) are now among the most frequent nosocomial infections, and catheter associated urinary infections (CAUTI) account for up to 40% of all nosocomial infections in the United States.7 The incidence of all CAUTI caused by fungi in two recent studies has been reported to be 24.8% and 26.5%, respectively. 8-9 Additionally, Candida is now reported to be the most frequently isolated organism from the urine of patients in surgical intensive care units.10 The rise in fungal infections is such that, candiduria essentially unknown before 1940 has become a nosocomial problem. 5The increase incidence of funguria is associated with the use of urinary catheters, treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics, corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents, and antineoplastics. Other risk factors include advanced age, female gender, diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure and hemodialysis.11,12,13 The majority of fungal UTI involve Candida species. The most frequent organism is Candida albicans followed by Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, and Candida krusei.12-13 However, non-albicans Candida and non-Candida yeasts are increasing as the etiological cause of fungal UTI. 14-15Despite an increase in the frequency of funguria, there is not a consensus in the literature as to the diagnosis and management of fungal UTI. There is still much discussion as to colonization versus infection along with the need and efficacy of treatment. Practice guidelines for the treatment of candidiasis by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) as recent as April 2000 fail to clearly define funguria and fungal UTI.10 Additionally, the IDSA does not adequately address recent prospective randomized studies comparing amphotericin B bladder irrigation versus intravenous amphotericin B therapy or oral fluconazole therapy. Several therapeutic options have been discussed but no regimen appears superior. Presented below is a protocol for the management of funguria and fungal UTI in an intensive care unit. Treatment of ascending pyelonephritis and renal candidiasis is beyond the scope of this review and is discussed elsewhere.13 Definition Of Funguria And Urinary Tract Infection The findings of fungus in the urine may represent contamination, colonization of the catheter, or infection.16 As of now, there is no reliable method for differentiating colonization from infection.13,17 It is not known whether quantitative urinalysis, presence of pyuria, or symptoms correlate with fungal infection. However, Tambyah and Maki found recently that there is a significant difference in the urine white blood cell count between patients with and without bacterial CAUTI (p=0.009).18An asymptomatic bacteriuria is defined by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) according to one of the following criteria: patient has an indwelling urinary catheter within seven days before the culture, and
