Candida albicansand related species are medically important yeast-like dimorphic fungi that are responsible, in part, for the rising incidence of serious, life-threatening opportunistic infections seen in immunocompromised and debilitated patients. In addition to minor localized infections of cutaneous, oropharyngeal and vaginal epithelium,Candidaspp. produce transient or persistent fungemia that leads to systemic infections of virtually any organ (esp. liver, kidney and lung). Hematologic malignancy and transplant patients with prolonged neutropenia and antibiotic resistant fevers are particularly at risk.C. albicansandC. tropicalisare medically the most important, although other species do cause disease, but less frequently.
