Blood culture (BC) is the gold standard test, but sensitivity is low. T2Candida is a new diagnostic test. We investigated the performance of T2Candida, BC, and Candida mannan antigen (MAg) for detection of IC in a high-risk intensive care unit (ICU) population.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>One-hundred twenty-six ICU patients at high risk of IC with sepsis despite 3 days of broad-spectrum antibiotics were included. Paired BC, T2Candida, and MAg were obtained twice weekly (334 sets). Patients were classified into proven, likely, possible, or unlikely IC based on patient record review.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>At enrollment, 92 (77%) patients were receiving antifungal therapy (mainly fluconazole 66%). Fifteen (11.9%) patients were positive by BC (n = 4), T2Candida (n = 11), or MAg (n = 10). The T2Candida species distribution at inclusion (Candida albicans\/Candida tropicalis: 8\/11 [72.3%] and Candida glabrata\/Candida krusei: 3\/11 [27.3%]) was supported by the identification of BC or colonizing isolates in 10\/11 cases. Patients were classified with proven (11), likely (6), possible (11), and unlikely (98) IC. Defining IC as proven\/proven&amp;likely\/proven&amp;likely&amp;possible, respectively, the sensitivity was as follows: T2Candida (55%\/59%\/39%), BC (45%\/29%\/ 8%), and MAg (36%\/41%\/32%). The negative predictive value was similar across the tests for proven vs others and proven\/likely vs others (94%\u201396% and 90%\u201395%, respectively). For test combinations including T2Candida, the sensitivity increased to 64%\u201365%, without hampering the positive predictive value.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n

T2Candida and BC seemed to have the best diagnostic performance, and thus implementation of T2Candida may improve the diagnosis of IC.<\/jats:p>\n
