• Global trends in the distribution of Candida species causing candidemia. (2014, background): “A considerable number of episodes of candidemia are diagnosed in the intensive care unit (ICU) [21,35].”
• Candida species: current epidemiology, pathogenicity, biofilm formation, natural antifungal products and new therapeutic options. (2013, background): “…peritonitis and fungaemia, usually associated with invasive procedures or prosthetic devices (Cantón et al., 2011), and with neonatal infections in the northern hemisphere, although this species is found in patients of all ages in Latin America (Almirante et al., 2005; Nucci et al., 2010).”
• Resistance to Antifungal Agents: Mechanisms and Clinical Impact (2008, background): “However, numerous trials involving candidemia have shown that treatment failure and mortality are high among patients with catheter-related infections without removal of the catheter [120–122].”
• Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infection: 2009 Update by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (2009, background): “For patients with candidemia and a short-term CVC for whom no source of candidemia is obvious, the catheter should be removed and the catheter tip sent for culture A-II [190, 193]”
