摘要：

Although intensive care unit (ICU) clinicians have long been at the frontline of critical care, delegates to the 34th International Symposium on Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (ISICEM) learned that these physicians are now also contributing to pandemic preparedness following the influenza A (H1N1) pandemic in 2009. ICUs continue to be responsible for managing the adverse effects of other serious infectious complications, such as candidiasis and aspergillosis. Both can be difficult to diagnose, but early initiation of therapy is essential for optimizing outcomes. Since patients outside the ICU may be at particular risk, collaboration among colleagues is critical to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) throughout the hospital. © 2014, Springer Science+Business Media New York.
