Their age were range between “11-83 years old”. 68 blood samples and 62 sputum samples were collected in this study. Candida spp. Infection was 14(20.5%) isolates from patients blood and 5(8.1%) isolates from patients sputum, were infections more in blood C.albicans 8(57.8%) , C.glabrata 3(21.4%) C.krusei 2(14.3%) and C.parasillosis while isolates from sputum were 3(60%) of C.albicans and C.glabrata 2(40%). The isolated were identified according morphological , Cultural and biochemical characteristic. Fungal isolates in present study produced various virulence factors hemolysin and protease production were produced in C.albicans 8(72.8), 11(100%) respectively, while C.glabrata hemolysin production were 4(80%) and (40%) of protease production , while C.parasillosis isolate were produced protease and hemolysin. C.krusei were produce only hemolysin 1(50%).
