Background
Recent outbreaks of Candida auris further exemplify that invasive Candida infections are a substantial threat to patients and healthcare systems. Even short treatment delays are associated with higher mortality rates. Epidemiological shifts towards more resistant Candida spp. require careful surveillance.
Objectives
Triggered by the emergence of C auris and by increasing antifungal resistance...
Invasive mycoses present a global challenge with expansion into new hosts, emergence of new pathogens, and development of multidrug resistance. In parallel, new antifungal agents and advanced laboratory diagnostic systems are being developed. In response to these evolving challenges, the European Confederation of Medical Mycology (ECMM) is committed to providing international expertise, guidance,...
Summary
Candidaemia is an important health problem in immunocompromised patients with an epidemiology varying with region, period and patient population involved. The occurrence of candidaemia and the associated species distribution over a 12‐year period at a large tertiary care centre in Belgium were analysed. The trend in incidence in the intensive care units (ICUs) and non‐ICUs was investigated...
The prevalence of respiratory viruses in adults is largely underexplored, as most studies focus on children. Additionally, in severely ill or immunocompromised adults, where respiratory infections are mostly attributed to bacteria and fungi; respiratory viruses can lead to severe complications.To evaluate the epidemiology of respiratory viruses in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) specimens from...
