描述 | Fungal infections are an increasing problem in critically illpatients and these infections carry an attributable mortality that ismuch higher than corresponding bacterial infections. In both Europeand North America, .Candida. infections predominate and much ofthis book concentrates on the epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis,and treatment of these infections. Particular reference is made to thecross-infection problems of .Candida. infection and the importanceof infection control and preventative measures. However, other fungalinfections are increasingly being seen in critically ill patients..This book is designed to offer a European and North Americanperspective on each topic. There are many similarities in experienceand clinical practice but also significant differences that we hopewill stimulate further thought and study. We hope the book will be ofinterest to intensivists, infectious disease specialists, medicalmicrobiologists, and all those with an involvement in critical care.Progress in intensive care medicine is resulting in a growingpopulation of critically ill patients at risk of fungal infection.Further improvements in survival will require a multidisciplinaryapproach. |
