Abstract
Summary: Organ materials from 57 autopsies were investigated histologically and culturally in order to compare the occurrence of yeasts with both methods.In materials of 12 autopsies (21,1 %) yeasts were demonstrated not only by culture but also by histology. From further 35 autopsies (61,4 %) yeasts were only found by isolation procedures. In most cases (56,9 %) Candida albicans was isolated, followed by Torulopsis glabrata (27,5 %) and Candida tropicalis (25,5%).Yeasts were demonstrated not only by histological but also by cultural procedures especially in the respiratory system and in the oesophagus. In materials from patients who had died from inflammatory diseases, yeasts were detected in greater number than in other. The abundant number of yeasts demonstrated not only by cultural (93,3 %) but also by histological procedures (26,7) was remarkable in cases with cardiovascular Insufficieny.Keywords
