Candida in the ICU
Abstract
Invasive Candida infections are becoming increasingly recognized in critically ill patients. These infections result in serious morbidity, can be life threatening, and are expensive to manage. Early suspicion of Candida infection and the use of timely and proper antifungal treatment can improve outcome. Although treatment of documented, deep-seated Candida infections in nonneutropenic patients has been studied extensively, guidelines for the management of suspected but undocumented cases of invasive Candida infections in critically ill patients have not been clearly established. Future work should focus on better delineation of the sector of critically ill patients who have suspected invasive Candida infection and who could benefit from the use of empiric antifungal therapy, and on the investigation of novel approaches for the potential salvage of devices infected with Candida species.

The gold standard diagnostic test for invasive candidiasis has been isolation of the organism in blood culture, but blood culture for Candida is insensitive.
“In addition, the gold standard diagnostic test for IC has been isolation of the organism in blood culture, however, blood culture for Candida is insensitive.[52][53][54][55]”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
