Abstract:

Objective To expore distribution characteristics of invasive fungal infections in 16 tertiary teaching hospitals in Hebei from 2016 to 2017, and to provide data for clinical diagnosis, treatment and infection control. Methods The yeast fungi and filamentous fungi causing invasive fungal infections were collected by member units. The strains were re-examined by Vitek MS analysis in the central laboratory. For difficult and rare strains, ITS and/or calmodulin CaM sequencing were used. Results A total of 493 invasive fungi strains were detected in 16 hospitals from 2016 to 2017, including 268 yeast fungi (54.36%) and 225 filamentous fungi (45.64%). Yeast fungi include 112 strains of C. albicans (41.79%), 52 strains of C. tropicalis (19.40%), 38 strains of C. parapsilosis (14.18%), 29 strains of C. glabrata (10.82%), 10 strains of Cryptococcus neoformans (3.73%) and 27 strains of other Candida (10.07%). Filamentous fungi included 131 strains of Aspergillus fumigatus (58.22%), 24 strains of Aspergillus flavus/Aspergillus oryzae (10.67%), 18 strains of Aspergillus Niger (8.00%), 6 strains of Aspergillus sydowii (2.67%), 5 strains of Aspergillus nestoris (2.22%) and 41 strains of other filamentous fungi (18.22%). The correct rate of invasive fungi identification was 75.66% (373/493). Conclusion The most common invasive fungal infections were Candida-dominated yeasts and Aspergillus-dominated filamentous fungi. The combination of microbial mass spectrometry identification and ITS/CaM region sequencing could effectively improve the identification accuracy of fungi and provide a reference for clinical treatment of invasive fungi.
