TL;DR: The most frequent fungal species found were Candida sp.

TL;DR: Knowing the species-complex epidemiology for each setting, as well as the identification of cryptic species among the collected clinical isolates, is important to allow preventive and corrective measures to be taken, which may result in decreased exposure to those organisms and a better prognosis.

TL;DR: The species distribution and their antifungal susceptibility, as well as the clinical outcomes associated with candidemia were evaluated, finding Candida albicans was more frequently associated with solid tumors of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts and breast.

TL;DR: Positive associations between type 2 diabetes and the presence of dermatomycosis in the studied population were shown and this association was also shown between the occurrence of dermatitiscosis and the localization of the body lesion.

TL;DR: There was no significant association (p >0.05) among visible injury and the independent variables tested, namely age, gender, owning pet, education, swimming pools attendance, sports activity and clinical infor- mation.
