Use of fungal blood cultures in an academic medical center.

Aaron R Kosmin1, Thomas Fekete.   

Abstract

We studied the use of fungal blood cultures in our hospital. They added little compared to routine culture results, but clinicians ordered them for sicker patients, when facing diagnostic uncertainty, or after prior candidemia. We need a practical guideline for when to order fungal blood cultures.
