Infection frequency of Candida SP. in Iraqi patients suffering from UTI
Keywords:
CRP, ESR, NACA, VITEK2Abstract
One of the most opportunistic mycosis globally is the Candida ssp., which is considered as the most agent that cause nosocomial urinary tract infections (UTIs), oral candidiasis and genitourinary candidiasis. This study included 100 samples of Iraqi subjects suffering from urinary tract infections. Identification of Candida have been done by different methods such as; characteristic of colony on culture, gram stain, and microscopically. This study aimed to isolation and identification of Candida spp from urine sample of UTI patients and find the relevance of ages and blood group of patients with the infections rate, also determine the effect of age on ESR and CRP levels in the patients. The results showed the higher frequency of blood group was the O- group (33%) and the lower frequency shown by the blood group O+ (2%). Candida species showed higher frequency of C. albicans (88%) followed by 4% of C. krusei, 3% of C. glabrata, then both C. guilliermondii and C. parapsilosis were shown (1%).
