Hepatosplenik candidiasis: Olgu sunumu

Hepatosplenik candidiasis (HSC) özellikle karaciğer ve dalağı tutan dissemine kandida enfeksiyonudur,. Hematolojik malignitelerde özellikle akut lösemilerde uygulanan kemoterapi sonrası nötropeni gelişen hastalarda, giderek artan sıklıkta tespit edilmektedir. Kültür sonuçları genellikle negatif olmakla beraber, tanı etkenin kültürde veya biyopsi ile gösterilmesiyle konur. Tedavisinde temel yaklaşım parenteral amfoterisin-B uygulamasıdır. Bu yazıda klinik ve radyolojik görüntüleme bulguları ile HSC tanısı konulmuş bir olgu sunulmuştur.

Hepatosplenic candidiasis (HSC) is a disseminated infection primarily involving spleen and liver. It is being observed at increased incidence in haematologic malignancies espicially in acute leukemias after chemotherapy has been administrated. Although the-culture results are generally negative, diagnosis is made by showing the pathogene in culture or biopsy. Basic approach in treatment is the use of amphothericine-B. In this paper we present a HSC case, which is diagnosed clinically and radiologically.
