| Abstract | A prospective, observational study was conducted at the biggest Portuguese hospital, aiming to evaluate the epidemiology of bloodstream fungal infection. During a period of 12 months (2004), all yeasts isolated from the blood cultures of patients with fungaemia admitted at a university hospital of Porto were collected. Demographic and clinical data, as well as haematological and biochemical profiles, were registered. Antifungal susceptibility was evaluated. The incidence of fungaemia and nosocomial fungaemia were 2.7 and 2 per 1,000 hospital admissions, respectively. Blood strains from 117 patients were identified. Thirty-five percent of yeast isolates were Candida albicans, followed by C. parapsilosis (25.6%). The mortality rate associated with fungaemia was 39.3%; the highest values were found in patients with C. glabrata and C. tropicalis infection. Seventy-five percent of the fungaemia episodes were nosocomial, with 48% mortality; the main predisposing factors were parenteral nutrition, gastric protection with omeprazole, surgical drainage and the presence of central venous catheters (CVCs). Thrombocytopaenia, urinary catheter, gastrointestinal pathology and nosocomial fungaemia were independently associated with a poor outcome. Antifungal susceptibility testing showed high fluconazole resistance (15%), mostly in C. tropicalis. We observed a high incidence of nosocomial fungaemia with high mortality rates. Important predisposing factors were identified, deserving further investigation. Local surveillance is warranted to monitor the incidence of in vitro antifungal resistance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
