Candidemia is a type of bloodstream infection caused by a fungal species called Candida, most commonly Candida albicans. It is considered a serious and potentially life-threatening condition, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems or those undergoing invasive medical procedures. Research in the area of candidemia focuses on understanding risk factors, diagnostic methods, treatment strategies, and outcomes associated with this infection. This includes studying antifungal resistance, developing new therapies, and exploring ways to prevent and manage candidemia in clinical settings. Overall, the goal of research in this area is to improve outcomes for patients with candidemia and reduce the burden of this infection on healthcare systems.
