ABSTRACT
Nosocomial yeast infections have become a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. This study presents the frequency of yeasts isolated from different biological products from a Mexico City hospital's patients during one year. C. albicans was isolated in 72.3 of patients, followed by C. glabrata (13.4) and C. parapsilosis (8). Twenty different morphotypes were identified and the serotype B was the most frequent (79).
