The present study was conducted in order to assess the epidemiology and clinical course of candidemia and to identify the risk factors associated with mortality. A total of 143 episodes of nosocomial candidemia were identified during a 5-year period, and these were included in the study. The majority of candidemic episodes were due to Candida albicans (63, 44%), followed by Candida parapsilosis(32, 22%). The overall mortality was 45%. The following independent prognostic factors for mortality were identified: bacterial sepsis, rapidly fatal illness, chronic obstructive lung disease, presence of a central venous catheter, candidemia due to Candida albicans, and lack of antifungal therapy.
