Abstract
Background
Candida glabrata is an emerging pathogen with the ability to develop tolerance and resistance to azole antifungals, which creates uncertainty about the usefulness of antifungal prophylaxis in newborns.
Aims
The aim of this study was to describe the factors associated with C. glabrata infection in a NICU that uses prophylaxis with fluconazole.
Methods
A case-control study paired by gestational age was designed and conducted at the Civil Hospital of Guadalajara Dr. Juan I. Menchaca. Newborns with C. glabrata infection were studied and for each one a matched control was selected by gestational age. Odds ratios (OR) were estimated with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) and McNemar test for contrast of hypothesis was applied.
Results
Twenty-one infected patients were identified, from whom 66.7% were male; the median gestational age was 31.5 weeks. Increased risk of infection with C. glabrata was observed when there was a prescription of more than one antimicrobial scheme (OR 21, 95% CI, 1.23 - 358.3; p = 0.006) and also among patients with surgical comorbidities (OR 8, 95% CI 1.01 - 63.9; p = 0.04). During the study period, exposure to fluconazole showed no difference in the risk of infection.
Conclusions
Neonates with more than one antimicrobial regimen and those with surgical comorbidities had a higher risk of C. glabrata infection.

Revista Iberoamericana de Micología (Ibero-American Journal of Mycology) is the official journal of the Asociación Española de Micología, Asociación Venezolana de Micología and Asociación Argentina de Micología (The Spanish, Venezuelan, and Argentinian Mycology Associations). The Journal gives priority to publishing articles on studies associated with fungi and their pathogenic action on humans and animals, as well as any scientific studies on any aspect of mycology. The Journal also publishes, in Spanish and in English, original articles, reviews, mycology forums, editorials, special articles, notes, and letters to the editor, that have previously gone through a scientific peer review process.
