Systemic Candidemia
Systemic candidemia is a potentially fatal infection caused by candida in the bloodstream. Common symptoms are fever and chills that don't respond to antibiotic treatment and septic shock characterized by low blood pressure, rapid breathing and an elevated heart rate.
Other symptoms are determined by the location of the infection, which may affect the heart, abdomen, kidneys, liver, spleen, eyes, joints or bones.8‘Systemic Candidiasis.’ Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/1076/systemic-candidiasis Candidemia isn't a common condition and occurs mostly in hospitalized patients with compromised immune systems or underlying conditions.
