 en Candiduria: up-to-date review
Rodrigues, Daniela; Mezzari, Adelina & Fuentefria, Alexandre Meneghello

Abstract

Objective: To summarize the current knowledge about candiduria, describing the epidemiology in Brazil and worldwide, pathogenesis, laboratorial diagnosis and prescribed therapy.
Data Synthesis: A non-systematic review carried out from the databases: Pubmed, Cochrane and Scielo in scientific articles related to the theme candiduria and published in the last twenty years. The terms “candiduria”, “Candida” and “hospital infection” were used as descriptors, individually or in association. Articles that addressed other types of Candida infection or were not suitable for the aim of the study were excluded. The studies reviewed indicate that the most prevalent species are in descending order Candida albicans check for this species in other resources , C. parasilosis, C. tropicalis check for this species in other resources , C. glabrata check for this species in other resources , C. krusei check for this species in other resources , C. guilliermondii check for this species in other resources , C. lusitaniae check for this species in other resources , C. dubliniensis check for this species in other resources , C. kefyr check for this species in other resources and C. rugosa check for this species in other resources . When treatment is indicated, the drug of choice is fluconazole, provided that the isolates do not possess intrinsic resistance.
Conclusion: Despite its high incidence and clinical relevance, the candiduria is not yet been fully elucidated, remaining the need to clarify its epidemiology and pathogenesis in emerging species and reach consensus on treatment protocols.

Resumo

Objetivo: Sumarizar o atual conhecimento sobre a candidúria no Brasil e no mundo, descrevendo sua epidemiologia, patogênese, metodologia de detecção laboratorial e terapêutica medicamentosa.
Síntese dos Dados: Revisão não sistemática realizada nas bases de dados Pubmed, Scielo e Cochrane, em artigos científicos relacionados com o tema candidúria e publicados nos últimos vinte anos. Os descritores utilizados foram “Candidúria”, “Candida” e “Infecções Hospitalares” individualmente ou em associação. Os artigos que abordavam outros tipos de infecções por Candida ou que não se adequavam ao objetivo do estudo foram excluídos. Os artigos pesquisados evidenciam que as espécies mais prevalentes no Brasil e no mundo são em ordem decrescente Candida albicans check for this species in other resources , C. parasilosis, C. tropicalis check for this species in other resources , C. glabrata check for this species in other resources , C. krusei check for this species in other resources , C. guilliermondii check for this species in other resources , C. lusitaniae check for this species in other resources , C. dubliniensis check for this species in other resources , C. kefyr check for this species in other resources e C. rugosa check for this species in other resources . Quando o tratamento é indicado, a droga de escolha é o fluconazol, desde que os isolados não possuam resistência intrínseca.
Conclusão: Apesar da alta incidência e relevância clínica, as candidúrias não estão ainda completamente elucidadas, permanecendo a necessidade de esclarecer sua epidemiologia e patogênese em espécies emergentes e alcançar consenso nos protocolos de tratamento.
