Abstract
- T2Candida that was positive for C. albicans/C. tropicalis supported antifungal treatment of a patient with hematogenously disseminated candidiasis and septic shock in whom blood cultures were negative. T2Candida, used and interpreted as a Bayesian biomarker, can identify patients with candidemia who are missed by blood cultures, including those receiving antifungal treatment.<br /> (Copyright © 2018.
