-
- Researchers reviewed data from 53 patients over a decade and discovered a high incidence rate of invasive candidiasis (IC) and a significant link between C. tropicalis infections and dissemination to various organs, including the eyes and skin.*
-
- The study highlights the importance of eye examinations in patients with IC, revealing that a notable percentage showed evidence of intraocular candidiasis, and emphasizes the need for further research to refine screening strategies for at-risk patients.*
