[Recent advances in Candida albicans mycoses in children].
Infections with fungi appear to be increasing in frequency. Children who are debilitated, or are receiving prolonged steroid therapy or long-term antibiotic therapy are particularly susceptible to fungal infections. C. albicans causes infections of various organs. It may also form granulomas and produce a disseminated disease.
