Background: T2 magnetic resonance imaging (T2MR) is a new method for the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis, although most studies have analyzed its role in patients with candidemia or not infection. Case report: We present the case of a patient with arteritis and thrombosis of the hepatic graft resulted from an undocumented fungal infection in...

Targeted prophylaxis has proven to be an efficient strategy in liver transplantation recipients (LTRs). The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of caspofungin with that of fluconazole in high-risk (HR) LTRs. Caspofungin and fluconazole were compared in a multicenter, retrospective, cohort study in HR-LTRs in Spain....

Background: Candidaemia is a leading cause of bloodstream infections in hospitalized patients all over the world. It remains associated with high mortality. Objectives: To assess the impact of implementing an evidence-based package of measures (bundle) on the quality of care and outcomes of candidaemia. Methods: A systematic review of the...

Background: Despite being considered a high-risk population for invasive fungal disease, specific features of candidemia among solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients remain poorly characterized. Methods: We compiled prospective data from two multicenter studies on candidemia performed over two consecutive periods in Spain: the CANDIPOP Study...

Introduction Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) has historically been one of the major causes of severe sepsis and death among neutropenic cancer patients. There has been a recent increase of multidrug-resistant PA (MDRPA) isolates that may determine a worse prognosis, particularly in immunosuppressed patients. The aim of this study is to establish...

We aimed to assess the rate and predictive factors of bloodstream infection (BSI) due to multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa in neutropenic cancer patients. We performed a multicenter, retrospective cohort study including oncohematological neutropenic patients with BSI due to P. aeruginosa conducted across 34 centers in 12...
