概要 We analysed 36 cases including the present case. Almost all CPBS patients (96.5 %, n = 29) were using an intravenous catheter. The most frequently isolated species was C. parapsilosis (35.1 %), followed by C. albicans (29.7 %). The overall mortality rate was 53.6 % (n = 28). The time from the discovery of yeast-like pathogens using peripheral blood smears to death ranged from a few hours to 93 days (median 19 days). The present results suggest that intravenous catheter use and the underlying conditions of patients are responsible for CPBSs. The detection of yeast in peripheral blood smears suggests advanced infections with uncontrollable complications, which means a poor prognosis. Rapid detection methods besides blood culture are needed.
