Background: Candida can cause infections. The most common kind of Candida at clinics is C albicans. But other kinds have increased at clinics too. Researchers want to review the records of people who were in previous NIH studies who had Candida. They want to find out what risk factors are associaated with this infection. Objective: To study the factors that are associated with Candida fungemia to develop. The factors are clinical features, diagnoses, and previous antifungal therapy. Eligibility: People who were in prior NIH studies and had Candida Design: Researchers will review the records of 62 NIH participants. The records are from 2004 to 2017. They will look at data such as blood test results, diagnosis, and treatments. Researchers will only reach out to participants if they get approval from a review board. This research will probably not reveal data that would be important to participants health. But if it does, researchers will try to contact those participants. Data will be stored in secure computers. They will be stored with a code that only the study team can link to a participant.
