| Popis: | Long-term antibiotic therapy is one of the main risk factors for mycosis. The urinary d -arabinitol/ l -arabinitol ( d -/ l -ARA) ratio (a biomarker of several Candida species) was determined by gas chromatography with an electron capture detector in samples from 51 infants undergoing long-term antibiotic therapy. Although 47 of these children had higher d -/ l -ARA ratios than healthy controls ( P < 0.0003), their values nonetheless remained within upper-normal limits ( d -/ l -ARA ratio of |
