Infections in children due to Candida and non-Candidal yeasts.

Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) have historically been associated with high morbidity and mortality. Although Candida species have been the most common cause of IFI, recently there has been an increase in the incidence of infections produced by non-candidal yeasts. Infections by Candida species, e...

      ab: Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) have historically been associated with high morbidity and mortality. Although Candida species have been the most common cause of IFI, recently there has been an increase in the incidence of infections produced by non-candidal yeasts. Infections by Candida species, especially candidemia, are currently one of the most common causes of nosocomial infection over the world. In addition to Candida and Cryptococcus, other species such as Trichosporon, Geotrichum capitatum, and Rhodotorula can cause invasive mycosis. Those infections especially seen in children with immunodeficiencies, solid organ transplantation, bone marrow transplantation, receiving broad spectrum antibiotics, prolonged hospital stay and hospitalized in intensive care units. Diagnosis and treatment of invasive fungal infections is important but difficult.
