    Candidemia caused by Candida parapsilosis has become increasingly prevalent, particularly in pediatric populations.

  • 2

    Fluconazole resistance in C. parapsilosis has reached alarming rates of over 40-60% in some regions, complicating treatment.

  • 3

    The study analyzed 15 years of candidemia cases at Ege University Children’s Hospital, focusing on risk factors and clinical outcomes.

  • 4

    Identifying clinical risk factors for fluconazole resistance is crucial for guiding empirical therapy in pediatric patients.

  • 5

    The research highlights the need for further studies on C. parapsilosis to improve understanding and management of candidemia.
