The list of risk factors mentioned for Invasive candidiasis in various sources includes:
Persons at high risk for candidemia include low-birth-weight babies, surgical patients, and those whose immune systems are deficient. (Source: excerpt from Invasive Candidiasis: DBMD)
Risk factors for Invasive candidiasis are factors that do not seem to be a direct cause of the disease, but seem to be associated in some way. Having a risk factor for Invasive candidiasis makes the chances of getting a condition higher but does not always lead to Invasive candidiasis. Also, the absence of any risk factors or having a protective factor does not necessarily guard you against getting Invasive candidiasis. For general information and a list of risk factors, see the risk center.
