Candida Parapsilosis Sepsis in Patients With Burns: Report of Six Cases

DeLois Green, Joseph M. Still, EDWARD J. LAW

Abstract

Six patients with burns who had Candida Parapsilosis septicemia were encountered during a 3-year period at a regional burn unit. Four patients treated with Amphotericin B survived; two untreated patients did not. Candida Parapsilosis seems to be increasing in frequency at our unit. The organism is somewhat more resistant to antifungal agents than are other Candida species.
