Result:Candida non-Albicans was the major species, accounting for 98 of the total isolates. Candida Albicansconstituted 37. Other non-Albicans were C. Tropicalis (46), followed by C. Glabrata (22), C. Krusei (21), C. Parapsilosis (8), and C. lusitaniae. Conclusion: The foundation for early fungal aetiology detection is provided by this work.
