Fungemia
Fungemia (Fungaemia in the UK and other Commonwealth countries) is the presence of fungi or yeasts in the blood. The most common type, also known as Candidemia, Candedemia, or Invasive Candidiasis, is caused by Candida species, but infections by other fungi, including Saccharomyces, Aspergillus and Cryptococcus, are also called fungemia. It is most commonly seen in immunosuppressed or immunocompromised patients with severe neutropenia, oncology patients, or in patients with intravenous catheters. It has been suggested the otherwise immunocompetent patients taking infliximab may be at a higher risk for fungemia.
Diagnosis is difficult, as routine blood cultures have poor sensitivity.

Estas Tan cerca de mi pero
tan legos de ser para mi quisas no sepas
quien soy pero es que nunca he tenido
valor
es tan dificil vivir por tanto
tiempo en una ilusion, eres mi luna y mi sol
sin ti no tengo amor ni calor, es necesario
encontrar la forma en que tu
me puedas amar como quisiera poderte
abrazar y entregarte mi vida
no sabes cuanto te amo al mundo quiero gritarlo paso
las noches sonando que te tengo en mis brazos
tal vez manana tendre valor para buscarte y dicirte
lo que siente este corazon por ti (Por Ti)
