Invasive candidiasis is associated with high morbidity and mortality in neonates and children. The incidence of invasive candidiasis is greater in children than in adults and is particularly high in neonates. Main risk factors are multiple antibiotics, central venous catheters, parenteral nutrition, immunodepression, low birth weight, fungal colonization, and necrotizing enterocolitis. Successful management of IFIs relies on early recognition and rapid initiation of effective treatment. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
