    AbstractInvasive candidiasis is progressively increasing in frequency as a complication of the hospitalised adult patient. The availability of new antifungal drugs with lower toxicity and high efficacy has increased the complexity of managing of these infections. In parallel, the costs of the treatment of invasive fungal infections have considerably increased. Finding of a balance between the best benefit for the patient with the less costs is, nowadays, one of the main objectives of the current recommendations for the management of invasive candidiasis. In this review, the recommendations for the management of candidemia and other forms of invasive candidiasis (esophagitis, peritonitis, ocular, cardiovascular and osteoarticular candidiasis, central nervous system and urinary tract candidiasis, and chronic disseminated candidiasis) are analysed.Copyright © 2012 Elsevier España, S.L.
