This is a retrospective study involving hospitalized patients with blood cultures sent to the laboratory. During the year 2019, out of a total of 1600 samples received, 33 presented a positive culture (2%). The average age of the patients is 50 years with extremes from 9 days to 83 years. The male sex (82%) was more affected with an M\/F sex ratio equal to 4.5. The sensitivity of the direct examination was 24%. The species isolated were Candida albicans (58%), C. tropicalis (15%), C. glabrata (12%), C. parapsilosis (12%) and C. lusitaniae (3%). All isolated Candida yeasts were sensitive to Amphotericin B and Voriconazole. Sensitivity to Fluconazole, Flucytosine and Caspofungin was 97% for each molecule. Sensitivity to Micafungin was 85%. Four out of 7 patients (57%) had antigenemia and\/or questionable to positive antibody levels. The mycological diagnosis of candidemia is of great interest for the isolation of the Candida species involved and the study of sensitivity to antifungal agents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9786203381603\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eepidemiology and susceptibility to antifungals\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9786203381603","offer_id":40148363378781,"sku":"9786203381603","price":39.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/f7040c76-5c92-4af2-a393-0dff6f361f4f.jpg?v=1770188892","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/yeast-septicaemia-candidagenus-von-latifa-mtibaa-khouloud-arfaoui-und-boutheina-jemli","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
