dc.description.abstractOropharyngeal candidiasis remains a signifi cant clinical problem in HIV-infected and AIDS patients in regions of Africa where anti-retroviral therapy isn ’ t readily available. In this study we identifi ed the yeast populations associated with oral lesions in HIV-infected patients in Southwest Uganda who were receiving treatment with nystatin and topical clotrimazole. Samples were taken from 605 patients and 316 (52%) of these yielded yeast growth following incubation on Sabouraud dextrose agar. Samples were subsequently re-plated on CHROMagar Candida medium to facilitate identifi cation of the yeast species pr esent. The majority (56%) of culturepositivesamples yielded a mix of two or more species. Candida albicans was present in 87% (274/316) of patient samples and accounted for 87% (120/138) of single species samples. Candida glabrata , Candida tropicalis and Candida norvegensis were also found in cultures that yielded a single species. No Candida dubliniensis isolates were identifi ed in this population.en_US
