Population-Based Active Surveillance for Culture-Confirmed Candidemia — 10 Sites, United States, 2017–2021
Strict implementation of measures to prevent health care-associated bloodstream infections is important to help prevent candidemia cases. Health care officials and providers should be vigilant for candidemia as a complication of critical illness. Continued surveillance is needed to monitor for emerging populations at risk for candidemia and changes in antifungal resistance patterns, which can help guide antifungal treatment selection.
