dc.description.abstractAim: The present study aims to demonstrate the incidence ofCandidaspecies associated with infections in a Military hospital in Alkharj.Methodology: This is a retrospective study that was conducted to assessthe prevalence ofCandidaspecies in a Military hospital in Alkharj –Saudi Arabia. The isolates from various clinical specimens in 2018 and 2019 were studied.Results: The percentage of candida species in the 2 years was 6.21% of isolates. The Candidaalbicanswere 40.87% of the total Candidaisolates. The majority of Candidaspecies cultures were collected from wound/pus/skin or vagina and to lesser extent urine and lower respiratory tract.Conclusion:Candidaspeciesare now common pathogens that cause infections specially in the gastrointestinal tract, vagina and at surgical site.
