The number of immunosuppressive patients has increased significantly in recent years. These patients are at risk for opportunistic infections, especially fungal infections. Candidiasis is one of the most frequent fungal infections determined in these immunosuppressive patients and its epidemiology has changed over the last two decades. Recently, new antifungal agents and new therapy strategies such as antifungal prophylaxis, secondary prophylaxis, and preemptive therapy have come into use. These changes resulted in the alteration of Candida species causing invasive infections. The incidence of Candida albicans was decreased in many countries, especially among patients with immunosuppressive disorders, while the incidence of species other than C. albicans was increased. In this review, incidence, risk factors, and species distribution of invasive candidiasis are discussed.

Background: Intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) is a major complication of chronic intestinal failure. Few data exist about hepatic monitoring of IFALD using the liver stiffness measurement. The aim of this study was to provide a descriptive analysis of IFALD and its prevalence in a tertiary center and to determine the IFALD risk factors and high liver stiffness measurement values using FibroScan.
