Breakthrough Candidemia In Children On Micafungin

Abstract

We identified 8 pediatric patients on micafungin (MCFG; ≥3 doses) at our institution who had breakthrough candidemia (BC). The causative strains of the BC were Candida parapsilosis in 7 patients. The minimum inhibitory concentration of MCFG was ≤1 µg/mL (susceptible) in all 8 isolates. Immunocompromised patients may develop BC caused by MCFG-susceptible strains.
