OBJECTIVE: To make an analysis of fungemia in HIV-infected patients in our hospital.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively (1989-1997) studied all HIV-infected patients with positive blood cultures for Candida sp., Cryptococcus neoformans or any other fungal infection.
RESULTS: C. neoformans was isolated in 11 patients (10 men and 1 woman): Six were treated with amphotericin B and 5 with fluconazole. 2 patients died during the acute phase and the infection relapsed in 3. Blood culture for Candida sp. were positive in 9 (8 men and 1 woman): only a case was nosocomial. Seven patients were intravenous drug users and the presenting manifestations were autolimited candidemia in 3, aortic and tricuspid endocarditis in 1 and 2 cases respectively and pneumonia in another one. Six C. albicans, 2 C. krusei and 1 C. glabrata were isolated. 3 patients received amphotericin B and 3 received fluconazole. 2 patients suffering from endocarditis died and so did the patient with C. glabrata infection. A patient, who denied having travelled to endemic areas, developed histoplasmosis; blood culture was positive for H. capsulatum. He initially had a good response to amphotericin B and itraconazole.
CONCLUSIONS: Fungemia is not frequent in HIV-infected patients. Cryptococcosis and histoplasmosis occur in advanced HIV-patients and candidemia is fundamentally associated with intravenous drug use.
