Main Article Content
Abstract
Candidiasis is the most common cause of invasive fungal infections in hospitalized children. The symptoms of a fungal infection may be more severe and difficult to control in children who have an underdeveloped immune system. Fungal injuries have an impact on the lives and health of children. The cross-sectional descriptive research was conducted on 42 individuals under the age of 15 who were infected with a fungal illness in the Outpatient Department of Vinh Medical University Hospital from January to April 2021. The findings revealed that 88.1% of children with fundal infection had Candida albicans fungal infection, with oral infections being the most prevalent. There is an effect of serum containing antiobiotics, antifungal medicine on the timing of germ tube generation.
