Deskripsi

A case of 1-year- old male multivisceral transplant recipient with candidemia diagnosed by the T2Candida® test is presented. Optimal management of the candidemia complemented the treatment of the global clinical episode. Duration of treatment might be established much more precisely with the T2Candida® test than with blood cultures. Keywords: Candidemia, T2Candida, Multivisceral transplant recipient
