Summary: Clinical yeast isolates were taken from 37 patients with presumptive skin candidiasis in Kuwait. In vitro sensitivity tests using amphotericin B, nystatin, miconazole nitrate, 5‐fluorocytosine and chlorhexidine were carried out. Amphotericin B was found to be the most effective and 5‐fluorocytosine the least.
