Official Title: Research of New Serological Markers for the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Candidaemia in Hospitalized Patients
Brief Summary:
Bloodstream infections due to Candida spp remain a serious medical challenge because of their high incidence and poor outcome. Diagnosis and monitoring of patients are still problematic, hindering efficient clinical management of the disease. The invastigators propose here to perform a retrospective study in a clinically well-characterized candidemic patient, with the goal of recognizing host immunological factors and virulence-associated fungal molecules relevant in the onset and evolution of infection. The…
