Abstract:
:For several years, the Platelia Candida mannan antigen enzyme immunoassay (Candida EIA) has been commercially available as a diagnostic test for invasive candidosis. We evaluated the Candida EIA with patients with proven fungemia caused by yeasts from which at least one serum sample was available. Fifty-nine patients with 121 serum samples were included in the study. Sixty-one different yeast strains were isolated from positive blood-cultures. The Candida EIA was positive (n = 35) or borderline positive (n = 8) in 43 of 59 patients with fungemia, resulting in an overall sensitivity of 73%. For the different yeast species, the following sensitivities were calculated: Candida albicans 30 of 39 (77%), Candida glabrata 7 of 11 (64%), Candida parapsilosis 1 of 3, Candida tropicalis 2 of 2, Candida kefyr 2 of 2, Candida lipolytica 0 of 1, Candida lusitaniae 1 of 1, Candida krusei 1 borderline positive of 1, Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1 of 1. In six patients the antigen levels over time were evaluable. In three cases the antigen was positive 3-4 days before the day the blood culture was drawn, in one case on the same day, and in two cases 2 and 5 days afterwards. In conclusion, the Candida EIA was suitable for the detection of fungemia due to the major facultatively pathogenic yeast species. The test was positive in about half of the patients before blood cultures became positive. In these cases, it contributed to an early diagnosis of invasive candidiasis.
