Progression from colonization to fungemia
| Candida sp. | No. of colonized neonates | No. of colonized and fungemic neonates | Fungemia/colonization ratio | P valuea |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C. parapsilosis | 5 | 3 | 0.60 | |
| C. tropicalis | 17 | 2 | 0.12 | 0.05 |
| C. albicans | 27 | 0 | 0 | 0.05 |
| Other non-C. albicans spp. | 11 | 1 | 0.09 | 0.02 |
