RESUMEN

UNLABELLED: The incidence rate of invasive infections due to Candida species has increased drastically in the last 20 years, causing a 40


mortality rate in hospitalized patients. In order to comprehend the epidemiology of Candida bloodstream infection, the study was carried out. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was done based on microbiology laboratory reports from five terciary care hospitals from the city of Cordoba between January 2010 and August 2012. RESULTS: 158 patients had candidemia, the average age was 55,8 years, and 54


of patients were in the intensive care unit. Candida albicans (44


) and Candida tropicalis (12


) were the main fungi isolated. Candida parapsilosis was commonly associated with catether infections. CONCLUSIONS: The data from the city of Cordoba showed that C. albicans, C. parapsilosis y C. tropicalis were the more frequent species isolated from blood cultures. This is similar to what is seen in other series published from Argentina and Latinamerica. This study may have implications when it comes to deciding which empiric antifugal agent is best for the treatment of candidemia.
