20241 citationOpen accessMakerere University

Abstract

The prevalence of oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC) among people living with HIV was low, and there was a significant association between OPC and CD4 T cell count as well as viral load. <i>C. albicans</i> was the most frequently isolated oropharyngeal <i>Candida</i> species. <i>C. glabrata</i> and <i>C. krusei</i> exhibited the highest AFR among the non-<i>albicans Candida</i> species. The highest resistance was demonstrated to fluconazole.
