44 Empiric use of antifungals in the ICU setting Still no good data clinical for empiric antifungal therapy in the non-neutropenic population Follow fundamental principles for treating candidemia Utilize serologic markers, surveillance cultures, and/or a scoring system to determine most appropriate use Duration of therapy not specifically addressed, although the implication is to curtail therapy in stable patients absent positive culture/serologic data Pappas PG, et al.

52 IDSA- Candidemia in nonneutropenic If species is unknown, either fluconazole (800mg loading dose, 400 mg daily) or an echinocandin is appropriate initial therapy for most adult patients (AI) An echinocandin is favored if - Moderately severe to severe illness, - Recent azole use for treatment or prophylaxis (AIII), or - Isolate is known to be C. glabrata or C. krusei (BIII) Fluconazole for patients who are - less critically ill and - who have no recent azole exposure (AIII). Move from candin to fluconazole when isolates likely susceptible to fluconazole (e.g., C. albicans) and patient is clinically stable (AIII) Remove or exchange intravenous catheters Treat for two weeks after clearance of bloodstream

56 Major changes from the previous IDSA Guidelines (2004) Emphasis on fluconazole and echinocandins as the preferred choices for proven/suspected IC De-emphasis on AmB and LFAmB under most circumstances Concept of step down therapy is strongly encouraged There is little distinction made between the echinocandins
