## TL;DR

This study examines the clinical features and outcomes of hepatosplenic candidiasis in Chinese patients with hematological diseases.

## Contribution

The study provides the first analysis of hepatosplenic candidiasis in Chinese patients with hematopathies.

## Key findings

- 18 patients with hepatosplenic candidiasis were identified, mostly diagnosed clinically.
- Most cases occurred after chemotherapy, and few achieved complete remission after antifungal treatment.
- No patient died directly from the infection, but some from blood disease recurrence.

## Abstract

肝脾念珠菌病是一种罕见的念珠菌病类型，可发生在血液系统恶性肿瘤、造血干细胞移植患者中，然而目前仍缺乏中国血液病合并肝脾念珠菌病患者的相关研究。本研究依据2020年《血液病/恶性肿瘤患者侵袭性真菌病的诊断标准与治疗原则（第六次修订版）》的诊断标准，回顾性分析了2008年至2022年在北京大学血液病研究所接受治疗并合并肝脾念珠菌病患者的临床特点及预后。研究最终共有18例患者诊断为肝脾念珠菌病，包括确诊1例（5.6％）、临床诊断2例（11.1％）、拟诊15例（83.3％）。其中3例（16.7％）患者发生在单倍体造血干细胞移植后，15例（83.3％）患者发生在化疗后。6例（33.3％）患者血培养阳性，其中热带念珠菌4例，白念珠菌2例。抗真菌治疗4周时，10例（58.8％）患者达部分缓解；8周时1例（6.3％）达完全缓解，10例（62.5％）达部分缓解。诊断后6个月时，3例（16.7％）患者死于血液学复发，没有患者死于肝脾念珠菌病。肝脾念珠菌病作为一种罕见的真菌感染性疾病，具有微生物学检查和组织学检查阳性率较低、治疗周期长、不易缓解等特点，在伴有持续发热的血液病患者中需警惕肝脾念珠菌病的发生。
