1. Epidemiology of nosocomial bloodstream infections in hospital with complex care attendance in São Paulo, Brazil / Epidemiologia das infecções de corrente sangüinea de origem hospitalar em hospital de assistência terciária, São Paulo, Brasil
INTRODUCTION: The hospital infections (HI) are main causes of morbidity and mortality in critically ill children. There are only few studies in pediatric age groups, and most of them demonstrated that the bloodstream infection (BSI) is the most important cause of HI in critically ill children. The OBJECTIVE of this study was to analyze the epidemiology of th

2. "Rhodotorula spp.isoladas de hemocultura no Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo: características clínicas e microbiológicas" / Rhodotorula spp. isolated from blood cultures in Hospital das Clínicas School of Medicine University of São Paulo: clinical and microbiological aspects
Foi realizado um estudo para verificar a ocorrência de leveduras do gênero Rhodotorula, em hemocultura por um período de 8 anos. Os pacientes identificados foram descritos clinicamente segundo variáveis de interesse incluindo dados sobre terapêutica e desfecho. Determinou-se também as concentrações inibitórias mínimas de 20 cepas frente a diferente

3. Catheter-associated fungemia due to Wangiella (Exophiala) dermatitidis.
We describe a case of catheter-associated Wangiella (Exophiala) dermatitidis fungemia in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected child who was successfully treated with antifungal therapy and catheter removal. Catheter-associated W. dermatitidis fungemia appears to be distinct from previously described cases of disseminated infection with organ involvement.

4. Nosocomial Fungemia Due to Exophiala jeanselmei var. jeanselmei and a Rhinocladiella Species: Newly Described Causes of Bloodstream Infection
Fungi have become increasingly important causes of nosocomial bloodstream infections. The major cause of nosocomial fungemia has been Candida spp, but increasingly molds and other yeasts have caused disease. Exophiala jeanselmei and members of the genus Rhinocladiella are dematiaceous moulds, which have been infrequently associated with systemic infection an

5. A single strain of Candida albicans associated with separate episodes of fungemia and meningitis.
Four isolates of Candida albicans recovered from the blood and cerebral spinal fluid of a 66-year-old man during episodes of systemic infection separated by 3 months and antifungal therapy were analyzed by a variety of molecular typing methods. All four isolates were shown to represent the same strain, indicating a relapse of infection rather than reinfectio

6. Torulopsis candida, a new opportunistic pathogen.
We described the first documented case of intravenous-catheter-associated fungemia caused by Torulopsis candida (Candida famata). The microorganism was isolated from two blood cultures and one intravenous catheter tip in a bone marrow transplant patient. Both the intravascular cannula and the immunological status of the patient are believed to have played ma

7. Differences in Clinical and Laboratory Diagnostic Characteristics of Penicilliosis Marneffei in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)- and Non-HIV-Infected Patients
We compared the clinical and laboratory features of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)- and non-HIV-infected patients with penicilliosis marneffei. HIV-infected patients had a higher incidence of fungemia. A total of 85.7% of the HIV-negative patients had underlying diseases including hematologic malignancies or had received therapy with corticosteroids or c

8. Increased incidence of fungemia caused by Candida krusei.
Candida krusei colonized 12.4% of 868 patients undergoing episodes of therapy-induced granulocytopenia over a 9-year period. The gastrointestinal tract was most frequently colonized, followed by the respiratory tract and urinary tract. Ten patients developed systemic infections with C. krusei; all 10 had two or more positive blood cultures. Nine of the 10 pa

9. Isolation and characterization of fluconazole- and amphotericin B-resistant Candida albicans from blood of two patients with leukemia.
Infections with fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans isolate have rarely been described in clinical settings other than oropharyngeal candidiasis in patients with late-stage AIDS. We report on two patients with leukemia who developed fungemia caused by fluconazole-resistant C. albicans after receiving fluconazole prophylaxis (400 mg/day) and empiric amphot

10. Candida zeylanoides: another opportunistic yeast.
A patient with a long history of scleroderma and gastrointestinal malabsorption requiring total parenteral nutrition was admitted with Candida zeylanoides fungemia. The yeast responded to therapy, but on two subsequent admissions for episodes of fever the blood cultures yielded the same yeast. The identity of the Candida species was established biochemically

11. Controlled evaluation of BacT/Alert standard aerobic and FAN aerobic blood culture bottles for detection of bacteremia and fungemia.
A new medium, FAN, designed to enhance the recovery of microorganisms, has been developed for the BacT/Alert blood culture system (Organon Teknika Corp., Durham, N.C.). We compared the yield and speed of detection of microorganisms in 6,847 adequately filled paired aerobic standard and FAN bottles at four university hospitals. Of 499 clinically significant m

12. Safety, tolerance, and pharmacokinetics of amphotericin B lipid complex in children with hepatosplenic candidiasis.
The safety, tolerance, and pharmacokinetics of amphotericin B lipid complex (ABLC) were studied in a cohort of pediatric cancer patients. Six children with hepatosplenic candidiasis (HSC) received 2.5 mg of ABLC/kg of body weight/day for 6 weeks for a total dosage of 105 mg/kg. Mean serum creatinine (0.85 +/- 0.12 mg/dl at baseline) was stable at the end of
