Abstract:
Infections caused by Candida species are now endemic and entrenched in the intensive care unit setting. Candida infections continue to provide a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to clinicians. The increased prevalence of Candida infections represent the high price clinicians and patients must pay for the advances in invasive diagnostic and therapeutic technology. This article deals with the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of common Candida infections in the critically ill.
