|May 4, 2006
Abstract:
We report 45 incidents of candidemia in 45 patients diagnosed with hematologic malignancies between 1997 and 2004. A large majority of species isolated were non-albicans and there was an unexpectedly high incidence of Candida tropicalis. The attributable mortality (15%) was interestingly low in this population of severely immunocompromised patients.

Under normal conditions, C. albicans exists as a commensal organism within the vaginal microbiota, regulated by the dominance of lactobacilli, which...
