RESUMO
We performed a prospective point prevalence study with a simple prospective protocol and analyzed spectrum of infections (ID) etiology and antimicrobial therapy in all cases coming for one month (June 2006). Respiratory tract infections represented 33% of all visits followed by diarrheal infections (197 cases) and sexually transmitted disease (86), skin and soft tissue infection (68), AIDS (40) and malaria (26) cases. Majority of isolates were St. aureus (only 3 MRSA), C. albicans and NAC (19), (only 2 Fluconazol resistant) and S. pneumoniae (8) (2 penicillin resistant).

Within last 25 years we have observed 20 cases of fungal meningitis and/or cerebral abscesses. Commonest etiologic agens was Candida spp. (C. albicans 9 of 20). Molds were responsible for 4 cases of brain abscess. Mortality was 50% what seems to be very high. Extremely high mortality is caused by delayed onset of therapy, severe underlying disease and multiresistant fungal organisms such as Mucorales, Fusarium solani and Aureobasidium.
