 AB    At various clinics of IRCCS S. Matteo Hospital, Pavia, Italy, 269 blood
       cultures recovered from immunocompromised patients over 4 years have
       been examined mycologically. Of the 269 cultures, 101 were from
       HIV-infected patients and five were from cardiac transplant recipients.
       Of the total examined 96 blood cultures were positive (36%). The most
       frequent genus was Candida: C. albicans (48%), C. tropicalis and C.
       parapsilosis (8% each), C. glabrata and C. guillermondii (3% each).
