The aim of this study is to evaluate the implementation of a new technique for invasive candidiasis diagnosis by PCR. The main objective will be to evaluate the effect of this strategy on the time required to obtain results in patients from intensive care units with suspected systemic invasive candidiasis. This PCR method could allow an antifungal switch to be made earlier, limiting the appearance of resistance and reducing the cost of antifungals for healthcare facilities.
