good evidence for antiobiotic induced candida however in cancer patients

[Guest guest]

Note:that the leukemia children who had NO antibiotics had remarkably

lower intestinal candida, less than 0.05 as opposed to leukemia children

who received antibiotics who had >10 (5)

The aim of the research was to study the peculiarities of colonization

of intestinal tract by Candida - in children with leukemia. It was found

that in 32 out of 54 patients with leukaemia the quantity of intestinal

KOE Candida in 1 g feces was correlated with the incidence of

candidemia. The quantity of intestinal KOE/g Candida was higher in

patients receiving antileukemic chemotherapy and antibacterial

antibiotics than in normal subjects in patients with The quantity of

Candida KOE/g feces was >10(5) cells per 1g of substrate. In control

group this figure was within 10(3)-10(4). In all patients candidemia was

revealed. In 8 patients who were not treated with antibiotics the

quantity of Candida in feces was present to a less degree (<0.05). In

the majority of cases (70%) in patients with leukaemia C.albicans was

found, in 15% of cases - C. tropicalis. Along side with candidemia

candidiazes of respiratory and urinary systems was revealed in children

with leukaemia.
