Nosocominal Fungal Infection in AIDS Patients: Prevention,Treatment and Control Measures ( Report of 1463 Cases )
Abstract：Objective:To investigate the present situation of nosocominal fungal infection among AIDS patients and to suggest preventive and infection control measures.Methods:The clinical data of fungal infection of 1 463 AIDS patients admitted into our hospital during 2005-2008 and the correlative factors were retrospectively analyzed. Results:The 1 463 patients took up 86.98% (1 463/1 682) of the AIDS patients diagnosed in the study period and 96.76% (1 463/1 512) of patients of nosocominal fungal infection. Oropharyngeal infection was the primary cause,taking up 82.09% (1 201/1 463),with white Candida mycoderma fungus ranking on the top (71.09%)and a new type of yeast fungus ranking next (19.07%).Hospital-stay time,HAART treatment,broad-spectrum antibiotic abuse,invasive operation,and non-standard anti-fungal treatment were found to be major risk factors of fungal infection.Conclusion:Fungal infection control,proper use of antibiotics,less invasive operations and improvement of the patient's immunity are effective preventive and control measures of nosocominal fungal infection in AIDS patients.
