Abstract: Candida albicans is a common pathogen which may induce superficial and deep infection of human.It is believed that innate immune response plays a leading role in the host anti-systemic infection of Candida albicans.Innate immune response mediating anti-Candida infection comprises a range of fungal recognition receptors and immune effector cells. Host immune response to systemic Candida albicans infection is critical for the prognosis of patients.In this paper,the mechanism of innate immune response in host anti-systemic Candida albicans infection was summarized.

Key words: Candida albicans, systemic infection, innate immune response
