Epidemiology of Candidemia: Three-Year Results from a Croatian Tertiary Care Hospital.

Invasive candidosis is the most common invasive fungal infection in hospitalized patients and is associated with a high mortality rate. This is the first study from a Croatian tertiary care hospital describing epidemiology, risk factors and species distribution in patients with candidemia. A three-year retrospective observational study, from 2018 to 2020, was performed at the University Hospital Centre Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia.
