Candida Speciation, Antifungal Treatment and Adverse Events in Pediatric Invasive Candidiasis

A multi-national prospective study of pediatric patients with invasive candidiasis between August 2007 and September 2012 was performed and included 441 infections. Variation in infecting Candida species and antifungals used was noted between US and non-US sites. Antifungal-associated adverse events were most common with polyene use.
