Caspofungin has shown efficacy and very low toxicity in empirical antifungal therapy in refractory invasive Aspergillus infections and invasive candidiasis in neutropenic (or non) patients. To date, there is no data on tolerability of caspofungin in ICU patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate caspofungine tolerability in critical care patients.
