Abstract

Pediatric fungal infections are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Few adequately powered antifungal trials have been performed in neonates and children. Neonatologists and pediatricians are reliant on adult trials when managing candidemia. Recent guidelines from the Infectious Diseases Society of America recommend fluconazole or an echinocandin for empiric therapy in suitable candidates, with a preference for an echinocandin in patients with moderate-to severe disease, recent azole exposure, or high risk of C. glabrata or C. krusei infection
