急性白血病患者热带念珠菌关节炎(英文)

Candida Tropicalis Arthritis in a Patient with Acute Leukemia

恶性血液病伴发念珠菌性关节炎极为罕见。本文报告一例急性单核细胞白血病患者化疗后骨髓抑制和外周血粒细胞缺乏期间并发膝关节炎。多次关节腔积液培养均为热带念珠菌,确诊为热带念珠菌性关节炎。根据体外细菌药敏试验,先后选用伊曲康唑、两性霉素B静脉滴注治疗4-5周,治疗有效,但停药后4-6周复发。后改用氟康唑静脉滴注治疗8周并用两性霉素B关节腔冲洗获治愈。结论:恶性血液病患者并发念珠菌性关节炎虽极为罕见,但在免疫力低下患者中仍有可能发生,宜选用有效药物进行足量、足疗程抗真菌治疗。
