During bloodstream infections, rapid adaptation of empirical treatment according to the microorganism identified is essential to decrease mortality. The aim of the present study was to assess the microbiological performances of a new rapid version of the Sepsityper® kit (Bruker Daltonics) allowing identification of bacteria and yeast by MALDI-TOF m...

Candida auris has been identified as an invasive fungal organism of outbreaks globally. Due to its striking ability to colonize the skin and readily transmit from person-to-person, it is being categorized as a public health threat. Infected patients are not only characteristically critically ill, but delayed identification along with limited option...

Bloodstream infection (BSI) is a common complication after living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Some patients develop recurrent BSIs. We evaluated the impacts of early recurrent BSIs (ER-BSIs) on outcomes in LDLT recipients. LDLT cases between 2008 and 2016 were included. Early BSI (E-BSI) was defined as a BSI event that occurred within 2 mon...

Introduction : Les bactériémies et fongémies constituent des causes majeures de morbidité et de mortalité chez les patients transplantés hépatiques. Cette étude cas-témoins mono-centrique a pour but, d’étudier l’épidémiologie, d’identifier des facteurs de risques, et d’évaluer l’impact de ces infections. Méthodes : Nous avons analysé rétrospectivem...

Scedosporium apiospermum is ubiquitous in the environment and is considered an emerging infection. Immunocompromised hosts can have a wide spectrum of diseases ranging from cutaneous to disseminated disease that may involve pulmonary, central nervous system, or bone. Disseminated disease in immunocompetent hosts is uncommon. Treatment of deep-seate...

Infection is associated with great morbidity and mortality in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), but evidence for invasive fungal infections (IFIs) is lacking. We aimed to investigate risk factors for IFI in MM patients and to determine its impact on patients' survival. We retrospectively analyzed MM patients at Taipei Veterans General Hospital i...

Candida spp. colonizes the human host and coexists with members of the human microbiome. Candida glabrata are aggressive pathogens, have many virulence factors that lead to serious recurrent candidiasis. Their ability to form a complex biofilm, inability to form hyphae, and inability to secrete hydrolase lead to antifungal resistance. Candidemia is...

This is a fatal case of fungaemia due to Cryptococcus albidus in an elderly woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus who presented pleural effusion as the only clinical presentation. Not only infections of the pleura are uncommon presentations of pulmonary cryptococcosis, but these infections due to non- C. neoformans species are extremely rare. This re...
