“…Candida species was isolated from a sample in this study giving a prevalence of 10%, this agreed with Aug et al 21 who stated that 10% of Candida are related to urinary source .The challenge comes from the fact that finding Candida species in urine can either be completely insignificant due to contamination or asymptomatic colonization or may be a marker of a very serious entity such as invasive renal parenchyma disease related to disseminated candidemia 22 and also Candida albicans may cause urinary tract infection in diseased or uncompromised patients 20 .…”

“…DNA fragments containing the telomeric repeats are highly variable among different C. albicans strains. We have shown that the Ca3 repeat is relatively more stable and is suitable for use as a species-specific and strain-specffic probe for C. albicans.Candida albicans and related species are responsible for the majority of oral and vaginal yeast infections (la, 26) and continue to increase in frequency as a major cause of systemic infections in immunocompromised hosts (1,4,5,25,30). Because C. albicans and related species lack sexual cycles (46), genetic studies have been difficult.…”

“…Debe buscarse una causa predisponente como la inmunosupresión, administración de antibióticos de amplio espectro, diabetes, cirrosis, hiperalimentación parenteral, uso de citotóxicos y corticoides, transplante renal y presencia de enfermedad tumoral, principalmente linfoproliferativa. La candidiasis sistémica es la micosis oportunista más frecuente en autopsias (46)(47)(48). El compromiso hepático es común, porque es la vía de llegada de la Candida, desde el intestino, a través de la circulación portal.…”

“…El compromiso hepático es común, porque es la vía de llegada de la Candida, desde el intestino, a través de la circulación portal. En un estudio, todos los pacientes tuvieron candidiasis gastrointestinal (46). La incidencia de candidiasis diseminada va en aumento y compromete principalmente a personas jóvenes con tratamiento inmunoterápico para leucemias, linfomas, anemia aplástica y lupus eritematoso sistémico (46)(47)(48).…”
