Candiduria management in clinical practice is often inappropriate, especially after the introduction of evidence-based recommendations by the Infectious Diseases Association of America. Physicians tend to start empiric antifungal therapy and may not strictly follow the guidelines. While IDSA guidelines are crucial for standardizing the management of candiduria, their significance needs further clarification.
Candiduria are common findings in clinic especially in hospitalized patients, while its significance remains undetermined. Since there are few criteria to follow, physicians tended to make decisions by personal experience in many cases in clinical practice. The present study was designed to unveil the present situation of candiduria management in hospitalized patients in clinical practice. A total of 251 hospitalized candiduria patients were retrospectively enrolled in the study. Clinical data on patient demographics, basic conditions, catheter using, urinary symptoms, laboratory data, and antifungal therapies were obtained from electronic medical records. The high rate of the candiduria cases were managed inappropriately after the introduction of the Infectious Diseases Association of America (IDSA) evidence-based recommendations, both in the management of urinary catheter and antifungal agents. Overtreatment was common in asymptomatic candiduria patients. For symptomatic patients, improper drug selections were not rare. In addition, a part of candiduria patients did not receive antifungal therapies although the IDSA recommends. A statistically significant difference was only found in hospital charges of symptomatic candiduria patients managed following IDSA or not. The recurrence rate, mortality, and hospital stay length were similar in candiduria patients regardless of the clinical management. Physicians tend to start empiric antifungal therapy for candiduria patients with pneumonia, multisite ofCandidacolonization, higher urineCandidaCFUs, and long hospital stay. Candiduria has not received special attention today, and empirical antifungal treatment is common. IDSA guidelines are important to standardize the management of candiduria in clinic; however, the significance of the guidelines needs to be further clarified in future multicenter investigations.
