Targeted proteomics in candidaemia

The dataset includes the expression profiles of 75 targeted inflammatory mediators detected in 44 critically ill patients, hospitalized in intensive care unit (ICU) to identify key differences in the serum inflammatory proteome between groups: with isolated candidemia (C2; n=12), candidemia with bacterial co-infection (BC2; n=12) and non-septic ICU controls (CON1; n=20). The controls did not develop neither isolated candidemia nor candidemia with bacterial co-infection to the end of their ICU stay. Inflammatory protein levels were quantified using a multiplex proximity extension assay (PEA) with the Olink® Target 96 Inflammation Panel, with all serum samples processed in a single batch to minimize assay variability. The dataset included Normalized Protein eXpression (NPX) values for 75 cytokines for patients’ groups.
