The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors associated with candidiasis in
chronic renal failure
(
CRF
) and renal transplant (RT) patients. A cross-sectional study was made of 66 patients who were divided into 2 groups: group A (33 patients), RT patients, and group B (33 patients), who had been diagnosed with
CRF
. Data with respect to demographics, treatment type and duration, clinical laboratory results for blood leucocytes, oral hygiene, and diagnosis of
oral candidiasis
were collected. Risk factors associated with candidiasis were evaluated. Among the 66 patients, 21 showed microbiologic evidence of
oral candidiasis
; 12 of these were from the RT group and 9 were from the
CRF
patients. Children who were renally compromised (RT and
CRF
) presented a frequency of
oral candidiasis
of 31.82%, with no difference between study groups. C. albicans was the most frequently isolated species from RT and
CRF
patients. Duration of therapy and oral hygiene were the variables associated with the presence of
oral candidiasis
.
