Abstract
Candida species are the most common cause of fungal infections. Candida species produce infections that range from non—life-threatening mucocutaneous illnesses to invasive processes that may involve virtually any organ. Such a broad range of infections requires an equally broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. These guidelines summarize current knowledge about treatment of multiple forms of candidiasis for the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA). Throughout this document, treatment recommendations are rated according to the standard scoring scheme used in other IDSA guidelines to illustrate the strength of the supporting evidence and quality of the underlying data (table 1). This document covers the following 4 major topical areas.Keywords
