Abstract

To determine the risk factors for disseminated infection in hospitalized children with candidemia. We performed a nested case-control study within a cohort of hospitalized children with candidemia. The cohort was defined by all patients with positive blood cultures for Candida species in a large, urban, academic, tertiary care children's hospital from 1998 to 2001. Cases were patients with clinical, microbiologic or radiographic evidence of disseminated candidiasis. Controls were patients with no evidence of disseminated candidiasis. Among 168 total children with candidemia, the median age was 3.5 years (interquartile range, 0.6-14.3). There were 189 episodes of candidemia. Candida species included:Candida albicans (41%), Candida parapsilosis (24%), Candida glabrata (13%) and Candida tropicalis (9%). The most common underlying diagnoses were oncologic (24%), gastrointestinal (15%) and cardiac (10%) diseases. Eighty-nine patients (53%) were admitted to an intensive care unit, 46 (27%) to a general pediatric or surgical ward and 33 (20%) to the oncology ward. Of the 168 patients with candidemia, 153 were included in the analysis of risk factors for disseminated candidiasis. Of 153 (17%) patients, 26 had evidence of organ dissemin...Continue Reading
