Abstract
The frequent occurrence of Candida infections in patients with diabetes mellitus has been recognized for many years and is thought to be more prevalent among these individuals. The objective of the study was to focus on the isolation of non- albicans Candida in urine of diabetic patients. A total of 80 samples in urine of diabetic patients treated in hospitals, clinics and nursing homes and from pathological laboratories at Gwalior (M.P.), India were recruited for the study. Among the diabetic patients 62.5 % (50/80) had Candida infections. The major Candida species isolated were Candida tropicalis 34% (17) followed by C. albicans 30% (15), C. parapsilosis 16% (08), C. glabrata 14% (07) and C. krusei 6% (03). This study indicates that non- albicans Candida are also emerging in urine of diabetic patients.
