Summary

This study looked at how the antifungal drug micafungin behaves in 60 critically ill ICU patients with invasive candidiasis, a serious fungal infection. The goal was to see if standard doses reach effective levels in these patients, since their bodies often process drugs differently. Researchers measured drug concentrations over time to understand variability and improve future dosing strategies.
