    Routine sepsis protocols have blood cultures included. The problem is blood cultures only pick up a few of the more common fungal infections. If these fungal infections are infact becoming more frequent then the protocol needs to change to include the use of specific fungal culture tube in addition to routine blood cultures. Unfortunately that is going to take time, training, and money to implement.
