Candida auris : On Yılda Dünyaya Yayılmayı Başaran Fungal Patojen

Öz:
Candida auris, son on yıl içinde dünyada yaygınlaşan ve sınırlanmasında güçlük çekilen nozokomiyal salgınlara neden olabilen bir fungal patojen olarak dikkati çekmiştir. Klinik mikrobiyoloji laboratuvarlarında tanımlanmasında güçlük yaşanması, sıklığının bildirilenden fazla olabileceğini düşündürmüştür. Düşkün hastalarda invaziv infeksiyonlara neden olabilmesi, yaygın yüksek flukonazol direnç oranları saptanması ve farklı antifungal sınıflarına karşı çoklu direnç gözlenebilmesi nedeniyle tedavi seçeneklerinin sınırlı olması ayrıca endişe uyandırmıştır. Ülkemize yakın coğrafi bölgelerin yanı sıra; 2019 yılında Yunanistan’da ve Avusturya’da Türk asıllı, Türkiye dışında yurtdışı seyahati bulunmayan bir hastada izole edilmiştir. Bu bulgular, ülkemizin bu sıra dışı patojenden uzun süre uzak kalamayacağını ve hazırlıklı olmamız gerektiğini düşündürmektedir.

Candida auris : The Fungal Pathogen That Managed to Spread Around the World in a Decade

Öz:
Candida auris attracts attention as a fungal pathogen that has become widespread worldwide in the last decade, which can cause uncontrollable nosocomial outbreaks. Difficulties of identification in clinical microbiology laboratories have suggested that the frequency may be more than reported. Since it may cause invasive infections in vulnerable patients, and the treatment options are limited due to detection of common high fluconazole resistance rates and observed resistance against different antifungal classes, it has raised additional concerns. As well as cases reported from geographical regions close to our country, in 2019 it was isolated in a patient in Greece and in another patient of Turkish origin in Austria, whose only international travel was to Turkey. These findings suggest that our country cannot be kept off this extraordinary pathogen for a long time and we should be prepared.
