Species distribution and antifungal susceptibility of bloodstream fungal isolates in paediatric patients in Mexico: a nationwide surveillance study

Abstract

The species distribution differed with the age of the patients, with C. albicans and C. parapsilosis complex being the most commonly isolated species. C. glabrata showed the highest resistance rate to amphotericin B, fluconazole and itraconazole. This is the first study of fungaemia episodes in Mexican children.
