Abstract

Despite the recent focus on prevention of health care-associated infections, rates of Candida bloodstream infections in adults have remained unchanged until recently. We report a decline of Candida bloodstream infections, not explained by changes in broad-spectrum antibiotic use, but coinciding with infection control policies aimed at central venous catheter maintenance.
