Invasive Fungal Infections Are a Growing Problem:
Focus on Candidiasis
Invasive Candida infections
– 4th most common nosocomial bloodstream
infection in the United States*

Diagnosis of IC and candidemia is
• Difficult
• Uncertain
• Delayed
Reason
• Clinical picture is uncharacteristic
• Pathogen detection
• Fungi in blood cultures
• Limited sensitivity - 50%
• Delayed results
In the ICU
Impact of delayed treatment on mortality
Morrell M, Fraser VJ, Kollef MH. Delaying the empiric treatment of Candida bloodstream infection until positive blood
culture results are obtained: a potential risk factor for hospital mortality. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2005;49: 3640–5.
When should I suspect fungal pulmonary infection?
High index of suspicion.
Immunocompromised
patient.
Poor response to
antibiotics.
Persistent fever and
illness.

• Side chains are key determinants of lipophilicity, solubility,
antifungal activity, and toxicity
Echinocandins
• inhibit synthesis of 1,3-beta-D-glucan
of the fungal cell wall
• Cidal for most Candida species
• favorable toxicity profiles
• approved for the treatment of
candidemia and other forms of
invasive candidiasis.
• preferred over azoles for the initial
treatment of candidemia
• C. glabrata or C. krusei
• previously treated with an azole .

• Dilated funduscopic examination is
recommended for all patients within 7
days after recovery from neutropenia.
C. glabrata

• Voriconazole is approved for this
indication

How Should IPA Be Treated?
Voriconazole
strong recommendation; high-quality evidence).
Alternative -
liposomal AmB
(strong recommendation; moderate-quality evidence)
Isavuconazole
(strong recommendation; moderate-quality evidence)
Early initiation (strong recommendation; high-quality evidence).
Combination
voriconazole +
echinocandin
may be
considered in
select patients
(weak
recommendation;
moderate-quality
evidence).
Primary
therapy with an
echinocandin is
not
recommended
(strong
recommendation;
moderate-quality
evidence).
caspofungin)
can be used in
settings in
which azole
and polyene
antifungals are
contraindicated
(weak
recommendation;
moderate-quality
evidence).
treatment of
IPA -for a
minimum of 6–
12 weeks
(strong
recommendation;
low quality
evidence).
Echinocandins
Echinocandins are effective in
salvage therapy against IA
• (either alone or in
combination)
but we do not recommend
their routine use as
monotherapy for the primary
treatment of IA
• (strong recommendation;
moderatequality evidence).
6- Hepatic Safety
Caspofungin
significant hepatic dysfunction,
hepatitis, and hepatic failure have been reported
therapy should be monitored
worsening hepatic function
risk/benefit of continuing therapy
Anidulafungin
significant hepatic dysfunction,
hepatitis, and hepatic failure were uncommon in clinical trials.
should be monitored
