We performed a cross-sectional study to analyze patterns of azole susceptibility of oral isolates in the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) era and compared current data with those obtained for isolates from 1994. We further identified patients with relapsing oral pharyngeal candidiasis (O...
