Abstract
The species most frequently found in the group of neonates was C. parapsilosis, its incidence reaching 48%. Other yeasts isolated from blood were C. albicans (41%), C. tropicalis (7%), C. krusei and C. 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.
