Abstract
Rates of invasive candidiasis (IC) in children between 2003 and 2011 were evaluated in a retrospective cross-sectional analysis. The rate of IC decreased 72% (P < .001) overall and 91% in neonates (P < .001). Improving infection control efforts is thought to be a contributing factor for this decrease.
