Abstract:
Invasive candidiasis (IC) ranks among the primary causes of deadly fungal infections. The frequency of IC rises alongside increasing number of patients with altered immune systems, critically ill, chronic diseases, and various medical procedures. The disease causes high morbidity and mortality, as well as prolonged stay and increases hospital costs. The diagnosis and management of IC in Indonesia is still a challenge. Laboratory facilities in identifying pathogenic fungi and susceptibility tests to antifungals are still limited. Clinical awareness and financial support from health policymakers are also insufficient. Early diagnosis is essential for proper treatment to reduce morbidity and mortality rates. Initiated by the Indonesian Pulmonary Mycoses Centre (IPMC), several expert representatives from six medical professional organizations in Indonesia have agreed to set up a meeting series to prepare a joint draft on the diagnosis and management of IC. The expert panel aimed to achieve a consensus on the clinical practice guidelines for diagnosing and treating IC in Indonesia.
摘要:
侵袭性念珠菌病(IC)是致命真菌感染的主要原因之一。随着免疫系统改变的患者数量的增加,IC的频率也在上升,病危,慢性疾病,和各种医疗程序。这种疾病导致高发病率和死亡率,以及延长住院时间和增加医院费用。在印度尼西亚,IC的诊断和管理仍然是一个挑战。鉴定病原真菌和抗真菌药敏试验的实验室设施仍然有限。卫生政策制定者的临床意识和财政支持也不足。早期诊断对于正确治疗以降低发病率和死亡率至关重要。由印度尼西亚肺部真菌病中心(IPMC)发起,来自印度尼西亚六个医学专业组织的几位专家代表已同意召开一系列会议,以编写关于IC诊断和管理的联合草案。专家小组旨在就印度尼西亚诊断和治疗IC的临床实践指南达成共识。
