  Since 30 days average before fungemia onset

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Mortality from fungemia

  After 30 days from fungemia onset

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: Up to 80 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population
