| description | Atypical <i>Candida</i> spp. infections are rising, mostly due to the increasing numbers of immunocompromised patients. The most common <i>Candida</i> spp. is still <i>Candida albicans</i>; however, in the last decades, there has been an increase in non-<i>Candida albicans Candida</i> species infections (e.g., <i>Candida glabrata</i>, <i>Candida parapsilosis</i>, and <i>Candida tropicalis</i>). Furthermore, in the last 10 years, the reports on uncommon yeasts, such as <i>Candida lusitaniae</i>, <i>Candida intermedia,</i> or <i>Candida norvegensis</i>, have also worryingly increased. This review summarizes the information, mostly related to the last decade, regarding the infections, diagnosis, treatment, and resistance of these uncommon <i>Candida</i> species. In general, there has been an increase in the number of articles associated with the incidence of these species. Additionally, in several cases, there was a suggestive antifungal resistance, particularly with azoles, which is troublesome for therapeutic success. |
