FIG. 1.
Percentage of all candidemias due to selected Candida species in each age group. Data are from the Emerging Infections and the Epidemiology of Iowa Organisms survey, 1998 to 2001. P = 0.02 for trend of increased frequency of C. glabrata with increasing age. Adapted from reference with permission.

FIG. 2.
In vitro activity of newer azoles stratified by fluconazole susceptibility. There were 6,268 susceptible (fluconazole MIC, ≤8 μg/ml), 463 susceptible dose-dependent (susc-DD; fluconazole MIC, 16 to 32 μg/ml), and 239 resistant (fluconazole MIC, ≥64 μg/ml) strains. Data are from reference .
