This protocol addresses adults presenting with sepsis or septic shock who are identified as being at high risk of fungal infection — a specific subgroup in whom antifungal coverage requires explicit consideration during initial management.
In adults with sepsis or septic shock at high risk of fungal infection, the evidence-based approach involves empiric antifungal therapy. The full regimen — including agent selection and all clinical decision points — is contained in the complete protocol.
For adults with sepsis or septic shock at high risk of fungal infection, we suggest using empiric antifungal therapy over no antifungal therapy.
