Particularly candida species is still the most commonfungal agent, and the significance of non-albicans candida species have gained importance in recent years. In the present study, it was aimed to evaluate retrospectively the risk factors and distribution of candida species in patients with invasive candida infections, who were treated with anidulafungin.
