Fig. 1. Yearly analysis showing the number of Candida, including C. albicans, NAC, particularly C. tropicalis, C. glabrata, and C. parapsilosis, the three most predominant species of NAC. The Candida positivity rate gradually increased from 2012 (465 positive cases out of 55,448, 0.84%) to 2022 (1,164 positive cases out of 65,685 cases, 1.77%). C. albicans and NAC showed the same pattern. NAC, non-albicans Candida.
