BackgroundInvasive fungal diseases (IFDs) remain important causes of morbidity and mortality. The consensus definitions of the Infectious Diseases Group of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer and the Mycoses Study Group have been of immense value to researchers who conduct clinical trials of antifungals, assess diagnostic tests, and undertake epidemiologic studies. However, their utility has not extended beyond patients with cancer or recipients of stem cell or solid organ transplants. With newer diagnostic techniques available, it was clear that an update of these definitions was essential.MethodsTo achieve this, 10 working groups looked closely at imaging, laboratory diagnosis, and special populations at risk of IFD. A final version of the manuscript was agreed upon after the groups' findings were presented at a scientific symposium and after a 3-month period for public comment. There were several rounds of discussion before a final version of the manuscript was approved.ResultsThere is no change in the classifications of "proven," "probable," and "possible" IFD, although the definition of "probable" has been expanded and the scope of the category "possible" has been diminished. The category of proven IFD can apply to any patient, regardless of whether the patient is immunocompromised. The probable and possible categories are proposed for immunocompromised patients only, except for endemic mycoses.ConclusionsThese updated definitions of IFDs should prove applicable in clinical, diagnostic, and epidemiologic research of a broader range of patients at high-risk.

Background Empiric antifungal therapy is considered the standard of care for high-risk neutropenic patients with persistent fever. The impact of a preemptive, diagnostic-driven approach based on galactomannan screening and chest computed tomography scan on demand on survival and on the risk of invasive fungal disease (IFD) during the first weeks of high-risk neutropenia is unknown. Methods Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant recipients were randomly assigned to receive caspofungin empirically (arm A) or preemptively (arm B), while receiving fluconazole 400 mg daily prophylactically. The primary end point of this noninferiority study was overall survival (OS) 42 days after randomization. Results Of 556 patients recruited, 549 were eligible: 275 in arm A and 274 in arm B. Eighty percent of the patients had AML or MDS requiring high-dose chemotherapy, and 93% of them were in the first induction phase. At day 42, the OS was not inferior in arm B (96.7%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 93.8%–98.3%) when compared with arm A (93.1%; 95% CI, 89.3%–95.5%). The rates of IFDs at day 84 were not significantly different, 7.7% (95% CI, 4.5%–10.8%) in arm B vs 6.6% (95% CI, 3.6%–9.5%) in arm A. The rate of patients who received caspofungin was significantly lower in arm B (27%) than in arm A (63%; P < .001). Conclusions The preemptive antifungal strategy was safe for high-risk neutropenic patients given fluconazole as prophylaxis, halving the number of patients receiving antifungals without excess mortality or IFDs.

- Abstract
Our research is based on the possibility of adapting the M.B.N to interpretative research on the own productions of visual art, of thesis students of the U.N.A. In the development of this adaptation, we have managed to define some phases of the method. The completed work is the object of investigation. Then a story is built around the author / artist’s experiences. These experiences are centrally related to at least one of the elements of the image. The reflections / interpretations that accompany the story have the function of making the narrator break in, no longer as a chronicler, but as his own interlocutor, an exegete of himself. So far, our research allowed us to develop a typology of narrative theses. We advance in the description of the method used by the authors, as the work with their referents produces meanings since they can be used as necessary heuristics within this adaptation., Nuestra investigación se funda en la posibilidad de adaptar el Método Biográfico Narrativo (M.B.N) a las investigaciones interpretativas sobre las propias producciones de arte visual, de tesistas de la Universidad Nacional de las Artes (U.N.A). En el desarrollo de dicha adaptación, hemos logrado definir algunas fases del método. La obra concluida es el objeto de investigación. Luego se construye un relato en torno a experiencias del autor/artista. Dichas experiencias, están centralmente relacionadas con al menos uno de los elementos de la imagen. Las reflexiones/interpretaciones que acompañan al relato, tienen la función de hacer irrumpir al narrador, ya no como cronista, sino como su propio interlocutor, un exégeta de sí mismo. Hasta aquí, nuestra investigación permitió desarrollar una tipología de tesis narrativas. Avanzamos en la descripción del método utilizado por los autores, en tanto el trabajo con sus referentes producen sentidos dado que pueden ser utilizados como heurísticos necesarios, dentro de esta adaptación.

- Abstract
Background Meropenem plasma concentration above a pathogen's MIC over the whole dosing interval (100% ƒT>MIC) is a determinant of outcome in severe infections. Significant variability of meropenem pharmacokinetics is reported in ICU patients. Objectives To characterize meropenem pharmacokinetics in variable CLCR or renal replacement therapy and assess the appropriateness of recommended regimens for MIC coverage. Methods A pharmacokinetic analysis (NONMEM) was conducted with external model validation. Patient characteristics were tested on meropenem clearance estimates, differentiated according to the presence/absence of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT, CLCRRT or CLno-CRRT). Simulations evaluated the appropriateness of recommended dosing for achieving 100% fT>MIC in 90% of patients. Results A total of 101 patients were studied: median 63 years (range 49-70), 56% male, SAPS II 38 (27-48). 32% had a CLCR >60 mL/min, 49% underwent CRRT and 32% presented severe sepsis or septic shock. A total of 127 pathogens were documented: 76% Gram-negatives, 24% Gram-positives (meropenem MIC90 2 mg/L, corresponding to EUCAST susceptibility breakpoint). Three hundred and eighty plasma and 129 filtrate-dialysate meropenem concentrations were analysed: two-compartment modelling best described the data. Predicted meropenem CLno-CRRT was 59% lower in impaired (CLCR 30 mL/min) compared to normal (CLCR 100 mL/min) renal function. Simulations showed that recommended regimens appropriately cover MIC90 in patients with CLCR <60 mL/min. Patients with CLCR of 60 to <90 mL/min need 6 g/day to achieve appropriate coverage. In patients with CLCR ≥90 mL/min, appropriate exposure is achieved with increased dose, frequency of administration and infusion duration, or continuous infusion. Conclusions Recommended meropenem regimens are suboptimal in ICU patients with normal or augmented renal clearance. Modified dosing or infusion modalities achieve appropriate MIC coverage for optimi

- Abstract
Background The increasing incidence of candidemia and emergence of drug-resistant Candida species are major concerns worldwide. Long-term surveillance studies are needed. Methods The Fungal Infection Network of Switzerland (FUNGINOS) conducted a 15-year (2004-2018), nationwide, epidemiological study of candidemia. Hospital-based incidence of candidemia, Candida species distribution, antifungal susceptibility, and consumption were stratified in 3 periods (2004-2008, 2009-2013, 2014-2018). Population-based incidence over the period 2009-2018 derived from the Swiss Antibiotic Resistance Surveillance System (ANRESIS). Results A total of 2273 Candida blood isolates were studied. Population and hospital-based annual incidence of candidemia increased from 2.96 to 4.20/100 000 inhabitants (P = .022) and 0.86 to 0.99/10 000 patient-days (P = .124), respectively. The proportion of Candida albicans decreased significantly from 60% to 53% (P = .0023), whereas Candida glabrata increased from 18% to 27% (P < .0001). Other non-albicans Candida species remained stable. Candida glabrata bloodstream infections occurred predominantly in the age group 18-40 and above 65 years. A higher proportional increase of C glabrata was recorded in wards (18% to 29%, P < .0001) versus intensive care units (19% to 24%, P = .22). According to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, nonsusceptibility to fluconazole in C albicans was observed in 1% of isolates, and anidulafungin and micafungin nonsusceptibility was observed in 2% of C albicans and C glabrata. Fluconazole consumption, the most frequently used antifungal, remained stable, whereas use of mold-active triazoles and echinocandins increased significantly in the last decade (P < .0001). Conclusions Over the 15-year period, the incidence of candidemia increased. A species shift toward C glabrata was recently observed, concurring with increased consumption of mold-active triazoles.

Background Candidemia is an opportunistic infection associated with high morbidity and mortality in patients hospitalized both inside and outside intensive care units (ICUs). Identification of patients at risk is crucial to ensure prompt antifungal therapy. We sought to assess risk factors for candidemia and death, both outside and inside ICUs. Methods This prospective multicenter matched case-control study involved six teaching hospitals in Switzerland and France. Cases were defined by positive blood cultures for Candida sp. Controls were matched to cases using the following criteria: age, hospitalization ward, hospitalization duration, and, when applicable, type of surgery. One to three controls were enrolled by case. Risk factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate conditional regression models, as a basis for a new scoring system to predict candidemia. Results One hundred ninety-two candidemic patients and 411 matched controls were included. Forty-four percent of included patients were hospitalized in ICUs, and 56% were hospitalized outside ICUs. Independent risk factors for candidemia in the ICU population included total parenteral nutrition, acute kidney injury, heart disease, prior septic shock, and exposure to aminoglycoside antibiotics. Independent risk factors for candidemia in the non-ICU population included central venous catheter, total parenteral nutrition, and exposure to glycopeptides and nitroimidazoles. The accuracy of the scores based on these risk factors is better in the ICU than in the non-ICU population. Independent risk factors for death in candidemic patients included septic shock, acute kidney injury, and the number of antibiotics to which patients were exposed before candidemia. Discussion While this study shows a role for known and novel risk factors for candidemia, it specifically highlights important differences in their distribution according to the hospital setting (ICU versus non-ICU). Conclusion This study provides novel risk scores for candidemia accounting for the hospital setting and recent progress in patients’ management strategies and fungal epidemiology. 24;1

Objectives: Imipenem is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent used in critically ill neonates after failure of first-line treatments. Few studies have described imipenem disposition in this population. The objectives of our study were: (i) to characterize imipenem population pharmacokinetics (PK) in a cohort of neonates; and (ii) to conduct model-based simulations to evaluate the performance of six different dosing regimens aiming at optimizing PK target attainment.Methods: A total of 173 plasma samples from 82 neonates were collected over 15 years at the Lausanne University Hospital, Switzerland. The majority of study subjects were preterm neonates with a median gestational age (GA) of 27 weeks (range: 24-41), a postnatal age (PNA) of 21 days (2-153) and a body weight (BW) of 1.16 kg (0.5-4.1). PK data were analysed using non-linear mixed-effect modelling (NONMEM).Results: A one-compartment model best characterized imipenem disposition. Population PK parameters estimates of CL and volume of distribution were 0.21 L/h and 0.73 L, with an interpatient variability (CV%) of 20.1% on CL in a representative neonate (GA 27 weeks, PNA 21 days, BW 1.16 kg, serum creatinine, SCr 46.6 μmol/L). GA and PNA exhibited the greatest impact on PK parameters, followed by SCr. These covariates explained 36% and 15% of interindividual variability in CL, respectively.Simulated regimens using a dose of 20-25 mg/kg every 6-12 h according to postnatal age led to the highest PTA (T>MIC over 100% of time).Conclusions: Dosing adjustment according to BW, GA and PNA optimizes imipenem exposure in neonates.

Background: The epidemiology of candidemia is evolving with raising concern about the emergence of intrinsically resistant non‐albicans Candida species and acquisition of antifungal resistance. In addition to microbiological surveys, epidemiological studies including clinical data are needed to assess the impact of candidemia on morbidity and mortality. Objectives: To assess the clinical and microbiological trends of candidemia in a Swiss university hospital. Patients/Methods. This single‐centre retrospective study compared the incidence of candidemia, Candida species distribution, antifungal resistance profiles, clinical characteristics and outcomes between two periods separated by one decade. Results: A total of 170 candidemic episodes were included (68 from period 1, 2004‐2006, and 102 from period 2, 2014‐2017). Incidence of candidemia (0.85 to 0.97 episode/10,000 patient‐days), species distribution (55%–57% C albicans) and antifungal susceptibilities remained unchanged. During period 2, candidemia was more frequently observed in intensive care units (ICU, 38% vs 19% in period 1, P =.01) and amongst older patients (median age 68 vs 59 years old, P <.01) with more immunosuppressive conditions (24% vs 9%, P =.01). Candidemia in period 2 was more frequently followed by septic shock (23% vs 7% in period 1, P =.01) and ICU admission (42% vs 12%, P <.01) and was associated with higher mortality (34% vs 18%, P =.03). Overall, factors associated with mortality in multivariate analyses included cirrhosis, solid malignancies and ICU stay at the time of candidemia. Conclusions: Despite stable incidence, species distribution and antifungal resistance of candidemia, an epidemiological shift of the disease towards older and more critically ill patients was observed, with higher mortality rates.

Contains fulltext : 171209.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Pneumocystis jirovecii can cause life-threatening pneumonia following treatment for haematological malignancies or after HSCT. The mortality rate of P. jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) in these patients is 30%-60%, especially after HSCT. The clinical presentation of PCP in haematology differs from that associated with HIV infection, with the disease being acute and more often severe, having a lower fungal burden and being more frequently linked to treatment with corticosteroids. Most cases occur in patients not receiving adequate prophylaxis. The development of new therapies, including targeted treatments and monoclonal antibodies in various haematological diseases, justifies constant vigilance in order to identify new at-risk populations and give prophylaxis accordingly. The fifth and sixth European Conferences on Infections in Leukaemia (ECIL-5 and ECIL-6) aimed to review risk factors for PCP in haematology patients and to establish evidence-based recommendations for PCP diagnosis, prophylaxis and treatment. This article focuses on the magnitude of the problem, the main differences in clinical presentation between haematology patients and other immunocompromised populations, especially HIV-infected patients, and the main risk factors.
