Prospective Population Study on Candidemia in Spain (CANDIPOP)

April 22, 2013 updated by: Fundacion SEIMC-GESIDA

Prospective Population Study on Candidemia in Spain (Estudio Poblacional Prospectivo Sobre Candidemia en España)

The aim of this study is to describe the epidemiology of fungal blood infections in Spain (with emphasis on the incidence, fungal species distribution and antifungal susceptibility). The study is to be performed in five big cities which represent different geographic areas: Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid, Sevilla and Valencia.
