Abstract
Candida krusei has been recognised as a potentially multidrug resistant fungal pathogen due to its intrinsic fluconazole resistance and reports of decreased susceptibility to amphotericin B. Moreover, the medical literature provides only four articles that report on four cases of fungemia caused by C. krusei in newborns. The objective of this study was to report on the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of three cases of fungal sepsis in the neonates caused by C. krusei.Entities:
