    • Abstract:
      Given the growing incidence of invasive candidiasis in critically ill and haemato-oncological patients and its poor outcomes, an early diagnosis and treatment are need for get a better prognosis. This document reviews the current approaches that help in diagnosis of invasive candidiasis based on culture-independent microbiological tests. The combination of clinical prediction scores with fungal serological markers could facilitate the approach in antifungal therapy, optimizing it. This article also reviews the epidemiology and primary risk factors for invasive candidiasis in these patients, updating the therapeutic approach algorithms in both clinical contexts based on the main evidence and international guidelines.

    • Abstract:
      Dada la creciente incidencia de candidiasis invasiva en pacientes críticos y hematooncológicos y sus malos resultados, es necesario un diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz para obtener un mejor pronóstico. Este documento revisa los enfoques actuales que ayudan en el diagnóstico de candidiasis invasiva basado en pruebas microbiológicas independientes del cultivo. La combinación de puntuaciones de predicción clínica con marcadores serológicos fúngicos podría facilitar el enfoque en la terapia antifúngica, optimizándola. Este artículo también revisa la epidemiología y los principales factores de riesgo de candidiasis invasiva en estos pacientes, actualizando los algoritmos de abordaje terapéutico en ambos contextos clínicos basados en la evidencia publicada y en las guías internacionales.
