ABSTRACT

Blood stream infections caused by yeasts have undergone considerable increases since the 1980's, showing a change in dynamics of distribution of the agents beginning in the 1990's. This type of infection is primarily nosocomial, and fundamentally affects immunodeppressed individuals, and those within intensive care units. General and specific epidemiological data are reviewed in this study, including both national and global information related to clinical and diagnostic aspects of yeast fungemias. An updated overview of the topic is presented for professionals and specialists in health fields.
