Abstract
Invasive candidiasis is a life-threatening infection associated with high morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs in both general and critical care settings. Timely diagnosis and adequate antifungal treatment are essential to improving patient outcomes and limiting unnecessary use of healthcare resources. This review explores the relationship between early Candida clearance with antifungal therapy, clinical outcomes, resistance patterns and economic impact. It also evaluates the role of diagnostic markers in facilitating early and accurate identification of candidaemia, enabling more precise and effective clinical management. Special attention is given to the challenges of managing candidaemia in critically ill and neutropenic patients, highlighting the need for tailored and timely interventions in these vulnerable populations.
期刊介绍：
The journal Mycoses provides an international forum for original papers in English on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapy, prophylaxis, and epidemiology of fungal infectious diseases in humans as well as on the biology of pathogenic fungi.
Medical mycology as part of medical microbiology is advancing rapidly. Effective therapeutic strategies are already available in chemotherapy and are being further developed. Their application requires reliable laboratory diagnostic techniques, which, in turn, result from mycological basic research. Opportunistic mycoses vary greatly in their clinical and pathological symptoms, because the underlying disease of a patient at risk decisively determines their symptomatology and progress. The journal Mycoses is therefore of interest to scientists in fundamental mycological research, mycological laboratory diagnosticians and clinicians interested in fungal infections.
