Materials and Methods: The blood samples of suspected patients were cultured and PCR-sequencing was performed. Antifungal susceptibility testing was done by the CLSI M27-A4 document. Results: Four blood samples were identified as positive. Candida parapsilosis complex (3 out of 4, 75%) was the predominant leading cause of candidemia. MIC values showed that all isolates were susceptible to itraconazole, amphotericin B, and 5-flucytosine. Conclusion: It seems necessary to pay attention to Candida non-albicans species in antifungal therapy. https://ijm.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijm/article/view/4831 https://ijm.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijm/article/download/4831/1735
