Abstract
Fungal infections are a growing medical problem requiring prompt diagnosis with species identification and early adapted. In the recent few decades candida species are the most common among the increasing fungal infections. Candida species are now the fourth-most-common cause of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections. Fluconazole has become the drug of choice for the treatment of candidiasis in immunocompromised patients. candida strains, maximum i.e. 40.95% were isolated from urine specimens followed by 22.38% from oral swab and 20.00% from vaginal swab. Maximum number of candida strains i.e. 47.64% were isolated in the age group of 31 to 50 years followed by 16.66% strains in the age group of 21-30 years. In the neonates, 10.95% candida were isolated. Candida isolates were 57.64% in males and 42.38% in females. Prior antibiotic therapy 71.42% was found to be a major risk factor for candidiasis, followed by urinary catheterization 60.47% and diabetes mellitus 45.23%
