The median total time from blood culture collection to antifungal initiation was 42.1\u2005hours. Excluding 39 patients with short treatment due to death, there was 100% adherence with surveillance blood cultures, followed by antifungal susceptibility testing (117\/118, 99.2%), initial appropriate therapy (117\/118, 99.2%), antifungal duration (110\/118, 93.2%), line removal (82\/91, 90.1%), eye exams (93\/118, 78.8%), and step-down therapy (69\/94, 73.4%). A quarter (30\/118) did not meet composite IDSA guideline adherence.
