“…Candidemia is the main invasive fungal infection that occurs in hospitalized patients; Candida species account for almost 80% of fungal pathogens causing nosocomial infections. 1 The incidence of candidemia has increased more than five-fold in the last decade. 2 Recent data show an overall incidence of candidemia ranging from 0.2 to 0.5 cases per 1000 admissions.…”
Candidemia is associated with a high mortality rate. Age and shock increase mortality, while the use of fluconazole was shown to be a protective factor. A higher resistance rate with new breakpoints was noted.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
