A prospective, single-center study of consecutive patients admitted to an ICU with complicated intra-abdominal infection (IAI) over a 2-year period was conducted. BDG was measured in the peritoneal fluid and serum between day 1 (D1) and D10. Patients with a positive peritoneal fluid yeast culture (YP) were compared to those with a negative yeast culture (YN). The evolution of serum BDG was compared in the two groups. Seventy patients were included (sixty-five analyzed): YP group (n = 19) and YN group (n = 46). Median peritoneal BDG concentration during surgery was 2890 pg.mL\u22121 [IQR: 942\u201312,326] in the YP group vs. 1202 pg.mL\u22121 [IQR: 317\u20134223] in the YN group (p = 0.13). Initial serum BDG concentration was 130 pg.mL\u22121 [IQR: 55\u2013259] in the YP group vs. 88 pg.mL\u22121 [IQR: 44\u2013296] in the YN group (p = 0.78). No difference in evolution of serum BDG concentrations was observed between the groups (p = 0.18). In conclusion, neither peritoneal BDG nor serum BDG appear to be good discriminating markers for the diagnosis of yeast IAI. In addition, monitoring the evolution of serum BDG in yeast IAI did not appear to be of any diagnostic value.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jof8050487","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,6]],"date-time":"2022-05-06T14:49:38Z","timestamp":1651848578000},"page":"487","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Is \u00df-d-glucan Relevant for the Diagnosis and Follow-Up of Intensive Care Patients with Yeast-Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infection?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5644-3412","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Herv\u00e9","family":"Dupont","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical ICU, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, University Hospital of Amiens Picardy, 80054 Amiens, France"},{"name":"SSPC Research Unit, University Jules Verne of Picardy, 80054 Amiens, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"St\u00e9phanie","family":"Malaquin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical ICU, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, University Hospital of Amiens Picardy, 80054 Amiens, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L\u00e9onie","family":"Villeret","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical ICU, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, University Hospital of Amiens Picardy, 80054 Amiens, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pierre-Yves","family":"Macq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical ICU, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, University Hospital of Amiens Picardy, 80054 Amiens, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nacim","family":"Ammenouche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical ICU, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, University Hospital of Amiens Picardy, 80054 Amiens, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fran\u00e7ois","family":"Tinturier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical ICU, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, University Hospital of Amiens Picardy, 80054 Amiens, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Momar","family":"Diouf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biostatistical Unit, Direction de la Recherche Clinique, University Hospital of Amiens Picardy, 80054 Amiens, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4836-5570","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matthieu","family":"Rumbach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical ICU, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, University Hospital of Amiens Picardy, 80054 Amiens, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Taieb","family":"Chouaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mycology Laboratory, University Hospital of Amiens Picardy, 80054 Amiens, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"De Waele, J., Lipman, J., Sakr, Y., Marshall, J.C., Vanhems, P., Barrera Groba, C., Leone, M., Vincent, J.L., and EPIC II Investigators (2014).
