title: Candida parapsilosis sepsis in patients with burns: report of six cases.
abstract: Six patients with burns who had Candida Parapsilosis septicemia were encountered during a 3-year period at a regional burn unit. Four patients treated with Amphotericin B survived; two untreated patients did not. Candida Parapsilosis seems to be increasing in frequency at our unit. The organism is somewhat more resistant to antifungal agents than are other Candida species.
