[Prevention of invasive candidiasis in the critically ill non neutropenic patient].
Prevention of invasive candidiasis (IC) in the setting of critically ill non neutropenic patients should be based on evidenced-based recommendations, namely improved hand hygiene, optimal catheter care, and rational and reduced use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Concomitant interventions aimed at reducing risk factors are important to decrease IC.
