The incidence of Candidiasis reported in this series is disturbing because of the recent association of Candidiasis with parenteral nutrition, by Ashcraft and Leape (5). The work of MacMillan, Law and Holder, however, documents the increasing problem of Candida in the burned child (6). Because of the number of variables involved, it is difficult in this series to assess the relationship between Candidiasis and central venous nutritional supplementation. The clinician caring for this type of patient, however, should be aware of this etiologic possibility when sepsis presents and treat when present by removing catheters and giving Amphotericin B.
