Identificação de espécies de Candida e susceptibilidade antifúngica in vitro: estudo de 100 pacientes com candidíases superficiais

Abstract: FUNDAMENTO: Leveduras do gênero Candida determinam colonização, infecções superficiais e infecções sistêmicas em imunodeprimidos. As várias apresentações da doença levam à necessidade de utilizar diferentes métodos diagnósticos e tratamentos. OBJETIVOS: Diferenciar as espécies de Candida e correlacioná-las com as regiões anatômicas. Avaliar a susceptibilidade a cetoconazol, fluconazol, itraconazol e anfotericina B. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados 100 pacientes imunocompetentes com candidíase cutânea ou mucosa atendid… Show more

“…Candida species is the dominant cause of onychomycosis in women and dermatophytes is the principal cause of this condition in men 35,51 . According to CROCCO et al 13 , candidiasis expresses the variety of relations that occur between the host and autochthon microbiota, ranging from commensalism to systemic disease. Different groups of previously used medications can contribute to the appearance of superficial and systemic fungal infections by yeasts of the genus Candida 11 .…”

“…7 Certain non-albicans species, such as C. glabrata and C. krusei, are inherently less susceptible to fluconazole than C. albicans and have been isolated with increasing frequency in HIV-infected patients. 7,8,9,10,11 The increasing resistance to antifungal treatments and expanding drug therapy options has prompted the need for clinically relevant antifungal susceptibility testing; these results could act as a guide in the selection and control of antifungal therapy. For this purpose, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) proposed a reference method for yeast antifungal susceptibility testing using serial dilutions and obtained values of minimal inhibitory concentration.…”

“…Numerosos estudos indicavam que C. albicans era mais frequente do que as espécies não albicans, respondendo por 80% a 90% dos casos. Entretanto, nos últimos anos, tem-se observado um aumento expressivo na frequência das espécies não albicans, principalmente C. glabrata, C. tropicalis e C. guillermondi, indicando uma tendência de mudança na etiologia da candidíase após décadas de predomínio de C. albicans (5,6,9) . Atualmente, diversos antifúngicos têm sido indicados no tratamento de candidíases oral e vaginal, no entanto a literatura tem demonstrado a ocorrência de cepas com sensibilidade diminuída e outras resistentes in vivo e in vitro a determinados quimioterápicos (2) .…”
