Abstract

Objectives: Invasive fungal infections (IFI) remain a main cause of death after heart surgery, in spite of the advances in pharmacological therapy. Anidulafungin is a new echinocandin with high efficacy against IFI in haematological patients and a reported low renal toxicity. Our aim was to assess the empirical use of Anidulafungin in high-risk patients with suspected IFI at the ICU after heart surgery.
