Background: Candida tropicalis is the most common non-albicans Candida species found in Asia-Pacific countries, including Thailand. The pathogen is known for its great virulence, which causes a high case-fatality rate. Associations between case fatality and patient characteristics, infectious disease unit consultation and EQUAL Candida score were investigated.
