Diagnosing candidemia with the T2Candida panel: an instructive case of septic shock in which blood cultures were negative.

T2Candida that was positive for C. albicans/C. tropicalis supported antifungal treatment of a patient with hematogenously disseminated candidiasis and septic shock in whom blood cultures were negative. T2Candida, used and interpreted as a Bayesian biomarker, can identify patients with candidemia who are missed by blood cultures, including those receiving antifungal treatment.
