| Abstract |
Fungi are one of the indigenous microorganisms but sometimes cause sever sepsis, therefore early diagnosis and treatment of mycosis are important. In this study, we investigated the isolation of Candida species during the five year periods in Teikyo University Mizonokuchi Hospital. Isolation of Candida albicans was gradually diminished in specimens from the respiratory and urinary system. In keeping with that period, antimicrobial use density of broad-spectrum antibiotics was decreased. In the examination of 20 candidemia patients, we found that the most of all were older, had immune dysfunction and received intravenous hyperalimentation. We thought that giving care of the risk factors of candidemia was helpful for early diagnosis and treatment. |
