Cost-effectiveness of micafungin as an alternative to fluconazole empiric treatment of suspected intensive care unit-acquired candidemia among patients with sepsis: a model simulation
Critical Care, 07/02/09
Zilberberg MD et al. - Recent epidemiologic literature indicates that candidal species resistant to azoles are becoming more prevalent in the face of increasing incidence of hospitalizations with candidemia. Given the increasing likelihood of azole resistance among candidal isolates, empiric treatment of ICU-AC with 100 mg daily MIC is a cost effective alternative to FLU.
