Prewalencja wieloogniskowych zarazen grzybami u chorych z przeszczepami nerek poddawanych stalej immunosupresji

Prevalence of multifocal fungal infections in patients undergoing permanent immunosuppresion alter renal transplantation. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of fungi in monofocal and multifocal infections in renal transplant recipients. 32 renal transplant recipients were examined for presence of fungi in genital organs, oral cavity and rectum. Fungal strains were recovered in 66 out of 96 samples (68.2% of all renal transplant recipients) in oral cavity (65.6%), rectum (37.5%) and genital organs (25.0%). Monofocal mycosis was found only in 21.9% of the patients. Multifocal infections occurred in 68.2% and contained ontocenoses of oral cavity and rectum (34.4%) the most frequently. Trifocal infection (genital organs - oral cavity - rectum) occurred in 12.5% of all examined renal transplant recipients. The following fungi were found: Candida albicans (31 strains), C. glabrata (5), C. guilliermondii (2), C. krusei (20, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1)
