CANDIDIASIS, INVASIVE: TREATMENT

Course overview

Invasive candidiasis (IC) is a potentially fatal infection caused by a group of opportunistic fungi of the genus Candida that is usually part of the normal oral, intestinal, and vaginal flora. Although there are many species of Candida, most cases of IC are caused by C. albicans. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of treatment of IC, including its clinical presentation, symptoms, and treatment, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
