Abstract
Invasive candidiasis secondary to Candida albicans should be highly suspected in patients exposed to the various risk factors that contribute to the affectation of this fungus, in order to provide early management of sepsis, through the use of antifungals in a timely manner, and to avoid the development of multiorgan failure. Diagnosis is fundamental and is based on laboratory studies, cultures, and risk scales; however, there are still limitations due to the fact that they do not have 100% sensitivity or specificity. Echinocandins remain the first line of treatment for patients with invasive candidiasis associated with C. albicans. Invasive candidiasis can affect any organ and increase mortality in adult and neonatal intensive care unit patients.
