Sažetak
Mycosis, undoubtedly, presents a great risk in the intensive care unit. Systemic mycotic diseases, especially candidiasis, are on the constant increa¬se. The cause of incidence is a wide use of antibiotics, immunosuppressive therapy, invasive treatments in the in¬tensive care unit, cave catheters and total parenteral alimentation, complica¬ted operations on gastrointestinal tract, heart etc. This is the group of patients who are exposed to the risk of mycotic infection. The paper deals with the infection and sepsis caused by Candida albicans in two patients during their long stay in the intensive care unit (one for 44 das's, and the other for 70 days). Both were treated with antibiotics for a long time, but they still had high septic temperatures and were on total paren-teral alimentation by means of central venous catheter. Candida was diagno¬sed by haemoculture, on the top of the cave catheter, in the urine and stool. In one patient, Candida albicans was diagnosed by a serological mycosis test. The patients were successfully treated with mikonazol. The paper describes the pathogene¬sis and the principles of Candida sep¬sis treatment and stresses the impor¬tance of prophylaxis and an early diag¬nosis in patients at the risk of mycotic infection.
