Candida as IAI & Perinatal Sepsis? YES.
Manage episode 430561754 series 2280622
Candida in women is being right? Afterall, vulvovaginal candidiasis during pregnancy is common. Candida species may be isolated from the vagina of 15 %-21% of nonpregnant women; this rate increases to 30% during pregnancy. While it is generally benign and isolated to the vagina clinically, some Candida species have the capacity to be troublemakers. C. Glabrata has the potential to be a bad player, with the possibility of invasive disease. Candida IAI is rare but can lead to neonatal infection, high mortality, preterm prelabor rupture of membranes, and childhood neurodevelopmental impairment. The most prevalent predisposing condition is preterm prelabor rupture of membranes, followed by intrauterine pregnancy with a retained intrauterine contraceptive device, cervical cerclage, diabetes in pregnancy, and pregnancy after in vitro fertilization. Preterm labor is the most common symptom with Candida IAI, and only 13% of cases involved fever. Case reports have also associated C. Glabrata with third trimester stillbirth. Although case reports have documented this since the 1980s, this is still an evolving diagnosis as awareness of the condition increases. Nonetheless, the clinical features of Candida IAI are not well understood, and best management of the condition is unclear. In June 2024, Candida Glabrata was called a “global priority pathogens”. In this episode, we will review this rare but very real clinical conundrum. One of our podcast family members actually managed a patient, s/p IVF, with periviable PPROM found to have Candida Glabrata fungemia. How is this possible? Shall we treat Candida in the urine? We will discuss this in this episode.
