Candida and Candidiasis
Yeast of the genus Candida have exploded into prominence in recent years as opportunistic and nosocomial fungal pathogens. However, the most recent textbook on these organisms was written in 1988. Candida and Candidiasis is a worthy successor in providing comprehensive information on the biology of these organisms. A total of 28 chapters cover the general properties, virulence factors, cell bio...
متن کاملCandida and Host Determinants of Susceptibility to Invasive Candidiasis
Candida is the most common human fungal pathogen and the cause of invasive candidiasis, the fourth leading cause of nosocomial bloodstream infection in the United States with an estimated annual cost of ,US$2 billion and mortality that exceeds 40% despite administration of antifungal therapy in modern intensive care unit facilities [1].

متن کاملChronic vulvovaginal candidiasis: characteristics of women with Candida albicans, C glabrata and no candida.
INTRODUCTION Although as many as 5% of all women complain of chronic vulvovaginitis, little is known about these women. They may often be misdiagnosed and the role of vaginal yeast culture in diagnosing vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) among them has not been clearly defined. METHODS To address these deficiencies, we tabulated initial diagnoses among new patients and conducted a medical record-...
