Abstract

We report an outbreak of infection due to genotypically identical Candida parapsilosis isolates among patients hospitalized in a pediatric oncology unit. Control cultures showed genetic relatedness between strains isolated from the patients and those isolated from the hands of a health care worker. Our data underline the importance of an effective surveillance program for preventing nosocomial fungal infections.
