چکیده

مقاله مروری




مقدمه: کاندیدا اوریس، قارچ مخمری مقاوم به چند دارو، می‌تواند در طیفی از بیماران، از جمله مبتلایان به کووید-۱۹ و حتی افراد سالم، عفونت اولیه یا ثانویه ایجاد کند. بیماری‌های ناشی از این قارچ در کمتر از یک دهه در هر شش قاره‌ی انسان‌نشین و از بیش از 45 کشور جهان و از جمله ایران گزارش شده است. سهولت انتشار، ماندگاری طولانی در محیط و مقاومت به چند داروی ضدقارچی، نگرانی‌های زیادی را پیرامون پیشگیری و مدیریت این قارچ برانگیخته است و هنوز چالش‌هایی جدی در شناسایی، درک مکانیسم مقاومت ‌دارویی و پیشگیری از مرگ و میر مبتلایان به عفونت ناشی از این میکروارگانیسم وجود دارد. شناسایی صحیح و زودهنگام بیماران کلونیزه با کاندیدا اوریس برای شناسایی و پایش موارد بیماری، و نیز پیشگیری و کنترل طغیان‌های ناشی از آن بسیار مهم است. در این مقاله‌ی مروری، روند ظهور گسترده‌ی کاندیدا اوریس در جهان و ایران، تظاهرات بالینی، فاکتورهای خطر، مکانیسم‌های بیماری‌زایی، نقش کلونیزاسیون، پیشرفت‌ها و چالش‌های تشخیصی، مقاومت دارویی، گزینه‌های درمانی، پیشگیری و کنترل عفونت‌ و همچنین موارد شیوع هم‌زمان عفونت کاندیدا اوریس در بیماران مبتلا به ویروس کووید-19 بررسی شده است.

چکیده [English]

Candida auris, a multidrug-resistant yeast, can cause primary or secondary infections in a wide range of patients, including those diagnosed with the new coronavirus to even healthy individuals. The fungus has been reported in less than a decade on all six continents and in more than 45 countries. Ease of distribution, long shelf life, and resistance to several antifungal drugs have raised concerns about the prevention and management of patients with C. auris infection. Recent reports indicate serious challenges in identifying, understanding the mechanism of drug resistance, and preventing mortality from the infection with this microorganism. Given the prevalence of COVID-19 infection, it is important to identify patients colonized with C. auris correctly and at the early stages, to control and prevent a possible outbreak. In this article, the widespread occurrence of infections due to C. auris in the world and Iran, its clinical manifestations, risk factors, pathogenic mechanisms, diagnostic enhancements and challenges, drug resistance, treatment options, prevention, and control as well as concomitant C. auris infections in patients with COVID-19 virus, are reviewed.
