Evaluation on the basis of Candida Score in Critical Patients

The finding of the present study of 60 cases of candidal infection in critically ill patients has been evaluated with scoring system. However appropriate antifungal T/t is essential for the control of invasive candida infection. Early diagnosis of invasive candidiasis remains a challenge & to start empirical therapy in critical patient is poorly defined. To come over this problem one scoring system i.e;Candida score could be very helping hand for the treating physician to differentiate patients who could benefit from early antifungal T/t from those for whom invasive candidiasis is highly improbable. This present study in 60 patient evaluated the performance of this score in a cohort of critical patients.
