Candidemia

Candidemia is a life-threatening bloodstream infection associated with substantial mortality, prolonged hospitalization, increased health care costs, and complications such as septic shock, endocarditis, endophthalmitis, and metastatic infection. Diagnosis remains challenging because blood cultures have limited sensitivity and delayed turnaround times, while newer nonculture assays require careful interpretation within the clinical context. Current practice gaps include delayed recognition of patients at risk, inconsistent diagnostic evaluation, suboptimal antifungal selection, and variable implementation of source control and follow-up blood cultures. This educational activity is designed to narrow that gap by reviewing the epidemiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and evidence-based treatment of candidemia. Participants will gain skills in early risk stratification, interpretation of diagnostic test results, prompt initiation of appropriate antifungal therapy, assessment of complications, and coordination of interdisciplinary care to improve timely treatment and patient outcomes.
