Intra-abdominal candidiasis: the guidelines—forgotten non-candidemic invasive candidiasis

Authors: Philippe Montravers, Herve Dupont, Philippe Eggimann

Published in: Intensive Care Medicine | Issue 12/2013

Excerpt

Several consensus and guidelines recently updated their recommendations for the management of Candida infection. Interestingly, neither the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines [1] nor the European consensus [2] gave any clarification on the issues raised by Candida peritonitis, while epidemiological data over the last decades have shown that non-candidemic invasive candidiasis, mostly peritonitis, is a frequent and life-threatening complication in surgical critically ill patients [3‐5]. …
