Abstract:
:The clinical significance of Aspergillus fungaemia in the setting of a deep-seated aspergillosis has not been clearly established. Among 107 microbiologically documented Aspergillus infections in patients with haematological diseases observed over a 17-year period, blood cultures grew Aspergillus species from 10 cases. Aspergillus fungaemia was documented in 9 out of 89 (10.1%) patients with pulmonary aspergillosis at a median of 5 d from the onset of clinical signs of infection, and in one patient with central venous catheter focal infection. Five (50%) patients died as a result of fungal infection a median of 12 d (range 4--48) from the documentation of Aspergillus fungaemia. A comparison between cases of invasive aspergillosis with or without fungaemia showed that fungaemic patients were similar to those without positive blood cultures regarding clinical presentation, risk factors, clinical course and outcome. The diagnostic role of Aspergillus fungaemia in the setting of a deep-seated infection is limited because blood cultures become positive when a microbiological or clinical diagnosis of aspergillosis has already been performed. Aspergillus fungaemia does not necessarily seem to be correlated with a disseminated infection or a poorer prognosis.
