Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Subjects with intra-abdominal infection requiring surgery and Intensive Care Unit stay will be treated early with micafungin or placebo to determine the incidence and time to confirmation of fungal infection.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Subjects will be assessed at the following visits:

* Baseline (after surgery, prior to randomization)
* End of Treatment (EOT) visit (EOT is defined as: requires alternative antifungal, sufficient improvement of surgical condition, confirmed fungal infection or death)
* End of Study visit (28 days after the EOT visit)
* Long-term Follow up visit (90 days after the EOT visit)
