Pitt candidaemia score as an assessment tool for mortality in patients with candidaemia caused by <i>Candida tropicalis</i> and other <i>Candida</i> species: a multicentre study conducted in Japan
The mortality rate was well stratified by the PCS, and the PCS affected the selection of antifungals. A future prospective study is required for the PCS in guiding therapy for candidaemia.
