The culture of throat lession samples showed a very high rate of (+) results in candida albicans detection (96.9%). The results were analogous in the skin and blood sample culture. There was an enhance of LDH activity and there was a negative relation TCD4 cell count in peripheral blood of HIV/AIDS patients infected by candida albicans and penicillium marneffei fungi.
