Abstract
Invasive candidiasis (IC) is a term that refers to a group of infectious syndromes caused by a variety of Candida species, 6 of which cause the vast majority of cases globally. Candidemia is probably the most commonly recognized syndrome associated with IC; however, Candida species can cause invasive infection of any organ, especially visceral organs, vasculature, bones and joints, eyes, and central nervous system. The optimal use of these newer diagnostics coupled with a thoughtful clinical assessment of at-risk patients and the judicious use of effective antifungal therapy is a key to achieving good antifungal stewardship and improved patient outcomes.
