Sponsor's own description

A small proportion of intensive care unit patients receiving antifungals have a proven invasive fungal infection. However, antifungal treatment has side effects such as toxicity, emergence of resistance, and high cost. Moreover, empirical antifungal treatment is still a matter for debate in these patients. Our study aimed to determine the incidence, associated factors, and safety of de-escalation of antifungals in immunocompromised critically ill patients. This prospective observational study is conducted in 14 ICU, during a 6 months period. All immunocompromised patients hospitalized for \>5d and treated with antifungals for suspected or proven invasive candida infection will be included De-escalation is defined as a reduction in antifungal spectrum or stopping initial drugs within the 5 days following their initiation. The three antifungals considered in this study are from the narrowest to the widest spectrum: fluconazole, caspofungin and liposomal amphotericin B.
