Factors Associated with Candidemia Caused by Non‐<i>albicans Candida</i>Species Versus<i>Candida albicans</i>in the Intensive Care Unit

Abstract

Receipt of fluconazole and central venous catheter exposure were associated with an increased risk of BSI due to non-albicans Candida species, and total parenteral nutrition was associated with a decreased risk of BSI due to non-albicans Candida species, compared with BSI due to C. albicans. Patients without characteristics of infection due to non-albicans Candida species might benefit from empirical antifungal therapy with fluconazole.
