Central venous catheter (CVC) removal for patients of all ages with candidaemia

摘要

BackgroundCandida bloodstream infections most often affect those already suffering serious, potentially life‐threatening conditions and often cause significant morbidity and mortality. Most affected persons have a central venous catheter (CVC) in place. The best CVC management in these cases has been widely debated in recent years, while the incidence of candidaemia has markedly increased.
