Brief description ICU patients are vulnerable to fungal infections during their stay in hospital. These infections are costly to treat and pose real dangers to the patient with up to 1270 lives lost each year. The best way to diagnose and treat these infections is currently not known. Making an early and accurate diagnosis is difficult but important if the infection is to be managed appropriately. This research will show which management strategies are optimal for patients and health services.
