“…All BAL samples growing fungi in the study period were also analysed. Specimen processing from BAL was audited against British Society for Medical Mycology (BSMM) guidelines (Denning et al, 2003). These state that all bronchoscopy fluids from patients suspected of infection should be examined microscopically for hyphae and cultured on specialized media, all isolates should be identified to species level and all tissues from immunocompromised patients with suspected infection should be stained with fungal stains.…”

“…krusei 419pb 100pb PCR múltiple para candidiasis humana constituye la cuarta causa de infección del torrente circulatorio (6), con tasas de mortalidad que superan el 40 % (5). Sin embargo, a pesar de su importancia epidemiológica y clínica, el diagnóstico de la candidiasis profunda es difícil, frecuentemente tardío, y se basa principalmente en la historia clí-nica, en biopsias y en cultivos micológicos (9,24).…”

“…Sin embargo, estos ensayos muestran desventajas, entre ellas, las siguientes: a) la poca sensibilidad en aislamientos primarios (8,11), ya que frecuentemente la positividad de los cultivos de secreciones o tejidos estériles se hace aparente únicamente en la fase tardía de la infección (9,24,35); b) la limitada especificidad ligada al alto riesgo de contaminación (9); c) la gran variabilidad de los morfotipos, lo cual puede producir resultados falsos en los ensayos de asimilación de los sustratos cromogénicos y en las pruebas de tubo germinal (5 a 10 % de las cepas de C. albicans no producen tubo germinal y, también, es probable encontrar falsos positivos en C. tropicalis y C. parasilopsis) (36), y d) la necesidad de periodos de casi 72 horas para el completo crecimiento e identificación de los microorganismos.…”

“…This is important because patients in whom CVC removal does not occur at or around treatment initiation will cause a bias towards higher compliance as a majority will have survived up until the time of CVC removal (which will happen eventually). An older British guideline from 2003 specifically advised removal within 48 h. [8] Funduscopy was performed in seven (13.2%) patients only. Our compliance with this performance measure was poor with regards to the IDSA and ESCMID guidelines.…”
