Graph showing cumulative incidence over years post-transplant for lung, kidney-pancreas, heart, liver, and kidney transplants. Log-rank test: P <.001. Number at risk provided, decreasing over 14 years. Kidney has lowest incidence.

Candidemia occurred in 1.67% of solid organ transplant recipients and was associated with high 30-day mortality, with lung transplant recipients at the highest risk for #Candidemia after transplantation.

Risk factors for persistent candidemia and prognostic implications: Results from the ECMM Candida III study Candidemia is a severe complication in critically ill and immunocompromised patients, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. While early…

🧫 New study alert!
The ECMM Candida III analysis uncovers predictors of persistent candidemia: poor guideline adherence & underuse of echinocandins. Infection ≥5 days and ICU stay raise mortality.

Although US #candidemia incidence holds steady, death rates rose during COVID-19

The higher death rate was likely driven by strained healthcare systems amid the pandemic and more patients susceptible to Candida species because of severe COVID-19.

Which trial do we need? Shorter antifungal treatment for candidemia – challenging the 14-day dogma

Is 14 days always necessary? Shorter is better for #candidemia and could challenge the 1994 dogma. Adaptive #trial design could prove noninferiority, save resources and reduce burden on critically ill patients. Time for answers: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
