1 Rapid Diagnosis of Invasive Fungal Disease in the ICU Anna Lau Centre for Infectious Diseases & Microbiology & The University of Sydney Westmead Hospital NSW, Australia
2 IFD in the ICU Invasive candidiasis ~10% ICU infections (? underestimated) 2/3 nosocomial Candidemia 3 rd most common nosocomial BSI in ICU Aust: ICU-acquired candidemia 56% crude 30 d mortality (median 7 d) (Marriott et al, Crit Care 2009) Excess costs ~US$1-4 billion/yr ~55% non-c. albicans candidemia (15 species) ACS, PATH (Chen et al, EID 2006; Horn et al, CID 2009) C. glabrata 48%
3 Rationale for early diagnosis Early and appropriate antifungal intervention improves outcomes Risk factors Prolonged ICU LOS Greater disease acuity Broad-spectrum antibiotic receipt TPN receipt Corticosteroid & other immunosuppressive agents Haemodialysis Central venous catheterisation Gastrointestinal perforation Abdominal surgery Pancreatitis Burns Diabetes Prolonged mechanical ventilation (Ostrosky-Zeichner et al, Crit Care Med 2006) Candidemia is late and acute in onset Culture-directed treatment adjustments do not improve outcomes in critically ill pts empiric, pre-emptive therapy
4 Blood culture Gold standard Isolate, susceptibility testing, optimise therapy Slow (24-72 h) Insensitive (~50% IC; <10% IA; 40% Fusarium detected) BACTEC system (Horvath et al, JCM 2007) 15 Candida sp.; 10/100/1000 cfu into O 2, AnO 2 and mycology 479/648 (74%) flagged pos (98% O 2, 27% AnO 2, 97% M) Pos terminal subcultures 161/169 (95%) C. lipolytica neg all media Presumptive id C. glabrata if AnO 2 flagged before O 2 (Sens 94.9%; Spec 97.5%; PPV 93.3%; NPV 98.3%) (Foster et al, JMM 2007) *** 1-10 cfu/ml blood: 10 ml inoculation only 100 cfu
5 Rapid identification methods Direct from blood culture PNA FISH (AdvanDx) Germ tube Nucleic acid detection Surrogate markers (1 3)-β-D-glucan Candida mannan; Candida anti-mannan Nucleic acid detection
