Aim: During the last decade a continuous increase in non-albicans species isolation has been observed with Candida parapsilosis being one of the leading species. Aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology of candidemia, particularly of C parapsilosis, its predictors and clinical outcome. Materials and Methods: Incidences of candidemia...
