ABSTRACT
Abstract

INTRODUCTION:

Bloodstream infection due to Candida spp. is a primary cause of morbidity and mortality in tertiary hospitals.

METHODS:

In this retrospective study, we included patients with a positive blood culture for Candida spp. after 48 h of hospitalization. RESULTS A total of 335 patients who had candidemia were included in this study. Risk factors associated with mortality were hospitalization in internal medicine units and surgical clinics, age >60 years, mechanical ventilation, orotracheal intubation, hemodialysis, corticosteroids use, and C. parapsilosis infection.

CONCLUSIONS:

This study highlights the importance of health care related to invasive procedures and actions to improve patient immunity.
