ABSTRACT
We analysed 7 cases of systemic candida sp. infection diagnosed between 1986 to 1989. Clinical presentation was of sepsis. Evolution was favorable in all, excepting two cases that died due to a candidiasic meningitis and a candidiasic aortic thrombosis, respectively. Almost all patients were treated with amphotericin B only. A newborn had signs of toxicity (thrombocytopenia). We emphasize the importance of a prompt diagnosis and treatment and the effectivity of amphotericin B for systemic candidiasis, besides of its rare toxicity in newborns.
