Symptomatic adult patients, confirmed via concordant diagnostic blood culture and species identification and subsequent second blood culture results and species identification that are Candida positive
No interventions assigned to this group
Candida Negative Patients
Hospitalized adult patients, confirmed via concordant diagnostic blood culture with subsequent species identification and subsequent second blood culture with subsequent species identification that are Candida negative
No interventions assigned to this group
Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. For Group A,
* Males and females 18 - 95 years of age.

3. For Group B,
* Males and females 18 - 95 years of age.
* Subject is hospitalized with a medical problem other than fungemia, or is being treated as an outpatient for some non-infection-related condition, and
* Subject is confirmed to not have fungemia as evidenced by diagnostic blood culture and subsequent species identification.
Exclusion Criteria
