1 An Update in the Management of Candidiasis Daniel B. Chastain, Pharm.D., AAHIVP Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Specialist Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor UGA College of Pharmacy July 16, 2016

2 Disclosures I have nothing to disclose. Management of Candidiasis 2

3 Objectives: Pharmacists Review the epidemiology and risk factors for candidiasis Identify new diagnostic approaches for candidiasis Discuss major differences in treatment recommendations Create an evidence based treatment and monitoring plan for invasive candidiasis Management of Candidiasis 3

4 Objectives: Technicians Identify concerns with increasing rates of candidiasis Review the treatment for candidiasis List 2-3 medications used to treat candidiasis Management of Candidiasis 4

5 Guideline Development Last updated in 2009 Multidisciplinary panel of 12 experts Reviewed recent literature Data discussed over a 2yr period Management of Candidiasis 5

6 Guideline Development New data on diagnosis, prevention, and treatment for invasive candidiasis Significant changes in treatment recommendations Endorsed by AAP, PIDS, and Mycoses Study Group Management of Candidiasis 6

7 Candida sp. Diverse spectrum of diseases 4th most common healthcare-associated bloodstream infection (BSI) 40-60% mortality, higher if septic shock 15 distinct species causing human infection > 90% caused by top 5 1. C. albicans 2. C. glabrata 3. C. tropicalis 4. C. parapsilosis 5. C. krusei Management of Candidiasis 7

8 Antifungal Therapy No randomized controlled trials to support superiority of one therapeutic agent over another Previous exposure Intolerance Comorbidities Severity of illness Involvement of CNS, cardiac valves Dominant species BMC Infect Dis 2011; 11:261. Clin Microbiol Infect 2012; 18: Am J Med 1996; 101: N Engl J Med 1994; 331: Clin Infect Dis 2003; 36: Lancet 2005; 366: Clin Infect Dis 2004; 39: N Engl J Med 2002; 347: Lancet 2007; 369: N Engl J Med 2007; 356: Clin Infect Dis 2007; 45: Clin Infect Dis 2009; 48: Mycoses 2014; 57:12-8. BMC Infect Dis 2014; 14:97. Management of Candidiasis 8

9 Antifungal Resistance 7% of all BSI are resistant to fluconazole No echinocandin resistance before % in C. glabrata Prevalence > 10% at some facilities Clin Infect Dis 2012;55: J Clin Microbiol 2012;50: J Clin Microbiol 2004;42: Clin Infect Dis1999;29: Clin Infect Dis 2012;55: Clin Infect Dis 2013;56: Open Forum Infect Dis 2015;2:ofv163.

10 Multidrug Resistance Growing concern of isolates resistant to both fluconazole and echinocandins Few treatment options Likely worse outcomes J Antimicrob Chemother 2014;69: J Antimicrob Chemother 2010;65: Microbiol Immunol 2009;53(1): Management of Candidiasis 10

11 When to consider candidiasis Clinical deterioration with no obvious cause Fever of unknown origin (FUO), leukocytosis Recently undergone abdominal surgery Presence of central venous catheter (CVC) Management of Candidiasis 11

12 Risk Factors Higher Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) scores Mechanical ventilation Surgery (abdominal surgery) Broad spectrum antibiotics Presence of CVC Parenteral nutrition Diabetes mellitus Renal insufficiency/hemodialysis Pancreatitis Immunosuppressive agents BMC Infect Dis 2013;13:10.
