    Invasive candidiasis is a dangerous infection that can harm the blood, the heart, the brain, the eyes, the bones, and other bodily organs. Candidemia, a Candida-related bloodstream infection, is a prevalent illness among hospitalized patients. It might be difficult to tell whether symptoms are attributable to a Candida infection in people who have invasive candidiasis since they are often unwell from other medical issues.
