It was determined that colonization and development of invasive mycoses among newborns are most often caused by Candida sp., while the detection of filamentous fungi remains sporadic.

Disinfectants and antiseptics should be studied for their fungicidal activity.

Among 1,418 patients, fungal infection was detected in 77 individuals (5.4%).

More than half of all cases were associated with Candida non-albicans (55.8%), Candida albicans isolated in 28.6% of cases, Malassezia furfur in 13%, and 1.3% each for the filamentous fungi Aspergillus fumigatus and Mucormycosis.
