the microbiology, epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical therapy of candidemia in burn patients hospitalized in velayat teaching hospital, rasht, northern iran

Background and objectives: the study aimed to investigate the epidemiology and clinical therapy of candidemia in burn patients hospitalized in velayat hospital, rasht, iran.materials and methods: the blood samples of suspected patients were cultured and pcr-sequencing was performed. antifungal susceptibility testing was done by the clsi m27-a4 document.results: four blood samples were identified as positive. candida parapsilosis complex (3 out of 4, 75%) was the predominant leading cause of candidemia. mic values showed that all isolates were susceptible to itraconazole, amphotericin b, and 5-flucytosine.conclusion: it seems necessary to pay attention to candida non-albicans species in antifungal therapy.
