title: [Management of invasive candidiasis in non-neutropenic patient].
abstract: Among the most frequents etiological agents that causing nosocomial infections, there is included Candida spp. Candida's bloodstream infection mortality rates are over 30%. Antifungal early treatment is essential to improve the prognosis of this type of infection. Because of the lack of fast enough microbiological tests for early diagnosis, treatment must necessarily be initiated empirically.
