摘要
The past decade has demonstrated increased burn wound infections with atypical invasive fungal organisms. The range of previously regiospecific organisms has expanded, and plant pathogens are increasingly represented. Our institution sought to examine changes in severe fungal non-Candida infections in our patients, via retrospective review of patients admitted to our burn center from 2008 to 2021. We identified 37 patients with atypical invasive fungal infections. Non-Candida genera included Aspergillus (23), Fusarium (8), Mucor (6), and 13 cases of 11 different species, including the second-ever human case of Petriella setifera. Three fungi were resistant to at least one antifungal. Concomitant infections included Candida (19), Staphylococcus and Streptococcus (14), Enterococcus and Enterobacter (13), Pseudomonas (9), and 14 additional genera. Complete data was available for 18 patients, who had a median of 3.0 (IQR 8.5, range 0-15) additional bacteria required a median of 1 (IQR 7, range 0-14) systemic antibacterials and 2 (IQR 2.5, range 0-4) systemic antifungals. One case of total-drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa required bacteriophage treatment. One case of Treponema pallidum was found in infected burn wound tissue. Every patient required Infectious Disease consultation. Eight patients became bacteremic and 1 developed Candida fermentati fungemia. There were 5 patient deaths (13.8%), all due to overwhelming polymicrobial infection. Burn patients with atypical invasive fungal infections can have severe concomitant polymicrobial infections and multi-drug resistance with fatal results. Early Infectious Disease consultation and aggressive treatment is critical. Further characterization of these patients may provide better understanding of risk factors and ideal treatment patterns.
