RESUMO

The impact of COVID-19 on paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) in Argentina and the consequences generated by the pandemic are discussed. From 2018 to 3 years after the pandemic declaration, 285 proven PCM patients were registered. No association between both diseases was documented. PCM frequency decreased to extremely low levels in 2020. Mandatory social isolation and the emotional and psychological effects generated under pandemic circumstances led to delays in diagnosis, severe disseminated cases, and other challenges for diagnosis in subsequent years. Probable underdiagnosis should be considered due to the overlap of clinical manifestations, the low index of suspicion and the lack of sensitive diagnostic tools.

RESUMO

Resumen Evaluamos las concordancias interlaboratorio, esencial y categórica entre el panel Sensititre YeastOne™ y los métodos de referencia correspondientes al M27 4.a ed. (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute [CLSI]) y al EDef 7.3.1 (European Committee on Antifungal Susceptibility Testing [EUCAST]). Estudiamos 67 cepas de Candida de distintas muestras clí nicas y un panel de 9 cepas resistentes a fluconazol y equinocandinas. El mayor porcentaje de concordancia interlaboratorio se observó con anfotericina B (96,8%) y el menor porcen taje con voriconazol (77,2%). La caspofungina mostró un 5,8% de discrepancias muy mayores con el método de referencia del CLSI. Con el del EUCAST, el itraconazol, el posaconazol y la anidulafungina mostraron porcentajes de discrepancias mayores: el 17,6, el 18,1 y el 19,6%, respectivamente. El panel Sensititre YeastOne™ es una alternativa confiable y fácil de usar, que permite detectar especies de Candida resistentes a los antifúngicos, con algunas limitaciones para las equinocandinas. Los resultados son equiparables a los de los métodos de referencia.


Abstract We evaluated the interlaboratory agreement, the essential agreement, and the cate- gorical agreement between the Sensititre YeastOne™ panel and the reference methods M27 4th Edition of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), and the EDef 7.3.1 of the Euro- pean Committee on Antifungal Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST). We studied 67 Candida strains isolated from different clinical samples and 9 Candida strains with resistance to fluconazole and echinocandins. The highest percentage of interlaboratory agreement was observed with amp- hotericin B (96.8%), and the lowest percentage with voriconazole (77.2%). Caspofungin showed 5.8% of very major errors when compared with the CLSI reference method. For EUCAST, itraconazole, posaconazole, and anidulafungin showed high percentages of major errors: 17.6%, 18.1%, and 19.6%, respectively. Sensititre YeastOne™ is a reliable alternative, and easy to perform for detecting Candida species resistant to antifungal drugs, with some limitations for echinocandins. Results are comparable to those of the reference methods.
