    Author: Barchiesi F, Caggiano G, Falconi Di Francesco L, Montagna MT, Barbuti S, Scalise G.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2004 Aug; 49(4):269-71. PubMed ID: 15313532.
    Abstract:
    We report an outbreak of infection due to genotypically identical Candida parapsilosis isolates among patients hospitalized in a pediatric oncology unit. Control cultures showed genetic relatedness between strains isolated from the patients and those isolated from the hands of a health care worker. Our data underline the importance of an effective surveillance program for preventing nosocomial fungal infections.
