A Study on Neonatal Candidemia in A Tertiary Care Hospital

Abstract

Background : Neonatal candidemia is rapidly becoming one of the commonest causes of sepsis 
in NICUs. The speciation of Candida and the identification of the associated risk factors is 
pertinent for prevention and proper treatment of patients as most of the fluconazole resistant strains 
recovered from clinical specimens, particularly blood, are NAC species.
