These studies have not been performed for other echinocandins.

35 Recent guidelines for antifungal therapy during intra-abdominal infections

36 IDSA guidelines Solomkin J et al. Clin Infect Dis 2010;50:

37 Bassetti M et al. Intensive Care Med 2013, 39:

38 First line therapy Fungicidal antifungal agents (echinocandins or lipid formulation of amphotericin B) should be prescribed for the empirical therapy of all critically ill patients or for patients with previous exposure to azoles (AII). For the subgroup of patients with C. parapsilosis colonization, lipid formulations of amphotericin B or fluconazole may be preferred (BII). Azoles (fluconazole and voriconazole) can be prescribed for the empirical therapy of non-critically ill patients without previous exposure to azoles unless they are known to be colonized with a Candida strain with reduced susceptibility to azoles (BII). Amphotericin B deoxycholate should not be used due to its welldocumented significant toxicity (DII). Bassetti M et al. Intensive Care Med 2013, 39:

39 Targeted therapy Fungicidal agents such as echinocandins or lipid formulations of amphotericin B should be used for targeted therapy of all critically ill patients or for patients with previous exposure to azoles (BII). For the subgroup of patients infected with C. parapsilosis, lipid formulations of amphotericin B or fluconazole should be preferred (BII). Azoles can be used for targeted therapy of non-critically ill patients with IAC due to susceptible strain(s) (BII). Amphotericin B deoxycholate should not be used due to its welldocumented significant toxicity (DII). Bassetti M et al. Intensive Care Med 2013, 39:

40 How long should antifungal therapy be continued? In patients with IAC and clinically ameliorating, antifungal treatment should be continued for at least days after the beginning of treatment for IAC (CIII). In patients without proven Candida infection but clinically improved, empirical antifungal therapy should be discontinued after 3 5 days (BIII). In patients without proven Candida infection and not clinically improved, empirical antifungal therapy should be stopped (BIII). Bassetti M et al. Intensive Care Med 2013, 39:

41 Which second-line therapy should be started? Second-line treatment for patients initially treated with fluconazole should include an echinocandin or lipid formulations of amphotericin B (BIII). Second-line treatment for patients initially treated with an echinocandin should include lipid formulations of amphotericin B (BIII). Bassetti M et al. Intensive Care Med 2013, 39:

42 French Guidelines for the management of intra-abdominal infections When it is decided to prescribe empirical antifungal therapy in a critically ill patient with community-acquired or healthcare-associated IAI, an echinocandin should probably be used. Antifungal therapy (echinocandins in the case of serious infection or fluconazole-resistant strains) should probably be initiated in all cases of healthcare-associated IAI in which peritoneal fluid culture (apart from closed succion drains and drainage systems, etc.) is positive for yeasts. Montravers P et al. Anesth Crit Care Pain Med 2015 in press

43 Conclusions Few advances in the understanding of intraabdominal infections «New» drugs more appropriate to the ICU patients Efficacy in ICU settings must be confirmed pk pd characteristics have to be assessed in patients with multiple organ dysfunction
