Serum 25(OH)D status varied according to gender, age, and season. Therefore, analyses of vitamin D status require individualized gender, age, and seasonally adjusted thresholds. Clinicians should consider these factors when determining optimal serum 25(OH)D levels in clinical practice.

URiSCAN showed good precision and comparable sensitivity with lower specificity than those of CLINITEK.

We investigated the evolution of fluconazole resistance mechanisms and clonal types of Candida parapsilosis isolates from a tertiary care hospital in South Korea. A total of 45 clinical isolates, including 42 collected between 2017 and 2021 and 3 collected between 2012 and 2013, were subjected to antifungal susceptibility testing, sequencing of fluconazole resistance genes ( ERG11 , CDR1 , TAC1 , and MRR1 ), and microsatellite typing.
