[Invasive candidosis in intensive care unit patients].
The incidence of invasive candidosis is increasing worldwide and the mortality is high. In the intensive care unit diagnostic measurements, correct evaluation of the findings and the right indication for antifungal treatment remain problematic. So determination of potential risk factors is very important. The therapeutic use of antifungal drugs is often limited by important disadvantages like inadequate spectrum, application form or side effects. New antifungals give hope for the near future.
