Yeast Infections: Epidemiological and Mycological Profile of Different Yeasts Isolated at the ‎Hassan II University Hospital of Fez‎

Abstract

The current to identify the were confirmed as carriers superficial or deep a + Of these patients, were sp (1.48%), and Malassezia sp (0.42%). These different fungi were responsible for different clinical conditions, some isolated from superficial samples dominated by onychomycosis (38.34%), and others from deep samples dominated by fungemia (31, 19%). Conclusion: Yeast diseases are becoming more and more known, ranging from simple superficial damage to systemic infection. Candida albicans is the most commonly identified species, but with the emergence of new species, the incidence of non albicans Candida and other yeasts is continuously increasing. Therefore, given their different susceptibility to antifungal agents, their identification remains necessary.
