Resumen:
BACKGROUND: In Mexico, epidemiological data show an increase in the incidence of candidiasis; however, these data come only from some entities in the country. OBJECTIVE: To know the epidemiology of candidiasis in a third level hospital in the State of Mexico. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A retrospective, observational and cross-sectional study, which included all patient records that during the period from January 2013 to December 2017 had at least one positive culture for Candida spp. The variables analyzed were: variety and clinical manifestation, isolated Candida species, sex, age, comorbidities, treatment and year of hospital admission. RESULTS: 210 cases of superficial candidiasis were included; no cases of invasive candidiasis were found. The predominant variety was the mucocutaneous and the vulvovaginal candidiasis was the most frequent clinical manifestation, followed by balanitis, oral candidiasis and cutaneous candidiasis. The predominant causative agent was C. albicans. The main predisposing factor was diabetes mellitus type 2. Azoles were the treatment of choice. CONCLUSIONS: The epidemiology of candidiasis in the study hospital is similar to that reported in other entities of the country; vulvovaginal candidiasis was the most frequent manifestation in women, 30-50 years of age, who have diabetes mellitus. © 2020 Comunicaciones Cientificas Mexicanas S.A. de C.V..
