Abstract

AIM Determine the prevalence of oral mycosis by Candida albicans (CA) in patients between 25-65 years of age with
cancer who had radiation therapy (RT) & chemotherapy (CT) in José Carrasco Arteaga hospital 2015. MATERIALS AND
METHODS: In this paper we use a descriptive cross-sectional study. The sample exhibition includes 98 medical records of
patients treated at the José Carrasco Arteaga Hospital from January 2014 to June 2015. RESULTS: From January 2014
to June 2015, 81 medical records of patients who received RT & QT, developed Candida albicans infection, determining
a prevalence of 82.7%; male group recorded 48 members representing 59.25%, the female group recorded 33 members,
reporting their prevalence by 40.75%; patients to the group members "above 60 years old" recorded 46 people, occupying 47%
of the sample. A group of 66 people received RT developed Candida albicans infection. Patients undergoing radiation between
51-70 Gy, 28 individuals were affected, representing 41.5% of the sample establishing as the group with the highest record. A
group of 48 people received QT developed Candida albicans infection; in this group 15 cases were treated with carboplatin
representing 31.3% of the sample, establishing a direct relationship of the drug with the Candida albicans infection. The
frequent location of Candida albicans at the oral mucosa was recorded in 57 cases determining a prevalence of 44.9% of the
sample. CONCLUSIONS: The CA was present on 82.7% patients treated with RT and CT. It manifests more on males than
females. Occurs more frequently in patients over 60 years of age, related to radiation treatments at doses between 51-70 Gy.
