A five-year multicentre evaluation of candidaemia in UK adults: Epidemiology, risk factors and outcomes
Candidaemia is a significant healthcare-associated infection with high mortality, particularly in ICU patients with difficult-to-clear foci. The rise of N. glabratus is concerning given its propensity for antifungal resistance. Future clinical and research priorities include better diagnostic tools and refinement of antifungal treatment strategies.
