Abstract

Reported here are two cases of candidemia caused by Candida lusitaniae that occurred in two immunocompromised patients at Hospital Universitario "La Fe" in Valencia, Spain. Case 1 involved a low-birth-weight premature infant with congenital nephrotic syndrome who was successfully treated with amphotericin B, and case 2 involved a 50-year old woman with a high-grade malignancy lymphoma who succumbed to the infection. Antifungal susceptibility testing of the Candida lusitaniae isolates recovered from both patients revealed sensitivity to amphotericin, 5-flucytosine and fluconazole. Results are presented and discussed together with a comprehensive review of the literature, covering all previously reported cases of fungemia caused by this emerging pathogen.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Not all C. lusitaniae isolates are resistant, but therapeutic failure of amphotericin B is well documented.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
