These risk factors included septic shock, Pitt bacteremia scores ≥ 4, PCT ≥ 10 ng/mL, positive BG, serum albumin levels <30.0 g/L, time from fever to antifungal treatment initiation ≥5 days and time between neutropenia and antifungal treatment ≥10 days (p < 0.05; Table 3). Here, ALB is linked to bacterial infectious disease with sepsis.
