Candida tropicalis burn wound sepsis: A series of histopathology-confirmed cases

In this study, we report on the course of severely burned patients with Candida tropicalis burn wound sepsis. Five such cases were reviewed. The patients were treated with itraconazole intravenously and simultaneous antibiotics to prevent bacterial infections. In addition, dermabrasion was used to excise the eschar and the wound surface was covered immediately with dermatoplasty.
