Aim:The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical and epidemiological aspects of Candidainfections. Methods:The study relied on the analysis of electronic medical records. Results:Among 183 patients with positive fungal infections, 57 were from the community and 126 from hospitals. Females predominated in both groups (82.4% in the community, 54.7% in hospitals). Non-albicans Candidaspp. accounted for 62.8% of cases. Antifungal therapy was prescribed for 67 patients, with a 55.6% mortality rate. Conclusion:The increasing prevalence of non-albicans Candidaspecies highlights the need for better candidiasis monitoring and control, especially concerning antifungal use amidst rising antimicrobial resistance, particularly in empirical therapy scenarios. |
