Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2010 Disseminated candidiasis remains a life-threatening disease in the ICU. The development of invasive disease with Candida albicans is dependent on multiple factors, such as colonization and efficient host defense at the mucosa. In the present review, we describe the host defense mechanisms against Candida that are responsible for counteracting mucosal ...
