| Abstract: | The species most frequently found in the group of neonates wasC. parapsilosis, its incidence reaching 48%. Other yeasts isolated from blood wereC. albicans (41%),C. tropicalis (7%),C. krusei andC. pseudotropicalis (2% each). Six yeast species (C. albicans 44%,C. parapsilosis 28%,C. tropicalis 11%,C. krusei 8%,C. guilliermondii 6%,C. lusitaniae 3%) were detected in cancer patients. The presence of an intravenous catheter as a possible risk in the development of candidaemia was identified in all neonates and in 69% of cancer patients.C. krusei candidaemia was associated with prophylactic fluconazole therapy. |
