Abstract

Background: CANDIDURIA is known as the most frequent nosocomial fungal infection. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of CANDIDURIA in ICUs patients in a teaching hospital.Methods: In a retrospective descriptive cross sectional study, 500 hospitalized patients in four ICUs in Rasoul-e-Akram hospital were studied.Results: Mean age was 62±19.6 years and CANDIDURIA was confirmed in 69 (13.8%) patients with 40 (58%) men and 29 (42%) women. RISK FACTORS of CANDIDURIA were age, duration of staying at hospital and ICU, long term catheterization, use of antibiotics and corticosteroids. This study didn’t confirm the association of CANDIDURIA with diabetes mellitus.Conclusion: The frequency of CANDIDURIA in ICU PATIENTS can be decreased by shortening the duration of admission at ICU, urinary catheterization, avoiding long duration of antibiotics and corticosteroid.
