Key Points

  • To analyze trends in candidemia-associated hospitalizations using a large hospital database.
  • Utilized a large U.S. hospital database
  • Analyzed candidemia-associated hospitalizations from 2016 to 2024
  • Identified trends in the prevalence of different Candida species
  • Candida glabrata became the predominant cause of candidemia in 2024
  • C. albicans was overtaken in prevalence by Candida glabrata
  • C. auris, previously rare, ranked fifth among causes of candidemia

Abstract

Abstract Using a large U.S. hospital database, we described 13,177 candidemia-associated hospitalizations during 2016–2024. In 2024, Candida glabrata surpassed C. albicans, and C. auris, previously rare, ranked fifth. These findings underscore the importance of ongoing surveillance and adherence to guidelines for candidemia treatment and testing.
