摘要: Selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) with oral nystatin was evaluated as a measure to control an outbreak Candida infection in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Seventy-six out 106 neonates who carried spp. received main study manoeuvre (the application throat and stomach) during 12-month open trial. One third weighed < 1500 g whilst about half were being ventilated. The mean stay 33.2 d (SD +/- 46.9). Two cases candidaemia within fortnight associated yeast carriage rate NICU 50%; more than 80% isolates parapsilosis. During implementation period there four new fungaemia caused by C. Once dropped below 5% (P 0.001), no systemic strain recognized following 8 months. It took 3.5 months outbreak. observation that all other clinical diagnostic samples free from suggests translocation or gut into circulation occurred. SDD effective reducing index (mean 1.93, before SDD; 0.45, after P 0.001). A significant reduction carriage, both rates indices, is thought have contributed this candida
