Diagnosing candidemia with the T2Candida panel: An instructive case of septic shock in which blood cultures were negative
T2Candida that was positive for C. albicans/C.tropicalis supported antifungal treatment of a patient with hematogenously disseminated candidiasis and septic shock, in whom blood cultures were negative. T2Candida, used and interpreted as a Bayesian biomarker, can identify patients with candidemia who are missed by blood cultures, including those receiving antifungal treatment.
