Analysis of candidemia cases in a city hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic

CONCLUSIONS: As our study observed, the COVID-19 pandemic brought increasing numbers of immunosuppressed patients, widespread use of antibacterials, and central venous catheters, increasing the frequency and mortality of candidemia cases. All health institutions should be prepared for the diagnosis and treatment of candidemia. In addition, C. auris, the frequency of which has increased in recent years, is a new factor that should be considered in candidemia cases.PMID:38567615 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202403_35762
