Evaluation of Clinical, Microbiological Profiles and Management Patterns with Outcomes of Patients with Fungal Isolates in An Intensive Care Unit of A Tertiary Care Center: A Prospective Observational Study
mycolabadmin
This study examined fungal infections in patients staying in intensive care units at a hospital. Researchers found that diabetes was the most common risk factor, and a fungus called Candida tropicalis was the most frequently isolated organism from urine samples. Many of the fungal strains were resistant to fluconazole, a common antifungal medication, suggesting doctors need to choose different treatments based on which drugs the fungi are resistant to.
