Article Synopsis
- Mucormycosis, a severe fungal infection highlighted by the WHO, was studied in France from 2012 to 2022, revealing significant trends in epidemiology and mortality factors.
- Out of 550 cases, key underlying conditions included hematological malignancies (65.1%), with pulmonary infections most common (52.4%) and substantial seasonal variations suggesting more cases in autumn.
- The study linked the rise in PCR diagnostic methods to improved patient outcomes, highlighting that age, ICU diagnosis, and hematological malignancies increased mortality, while diagnosis after 2015 and surgical interventions decreased it.
Article Synopsis
- Candida auris is a growing threat to healthcare facilities globally, necessitating systematic screening for patients from high-risk areas to prevent widespread outbreaks.
- A study analyzing responses from 36 French mycologists found that only 30.6% were aware of any systematic screening protocols for C. auris in their hospitals.
- Most post-admission screening focused on specific body sites, but only a small percentage utilized specialized testing methods, highlighting the need for increased awareness and better practices among healthcare professionals regarding systematic screening for this pathogen.
