Results of this study presented that the highest infection of the Candida spp was accounted for C. albicans 31 (55.35%) from the 56 (56%) positive cultures, while other species were as follows: appear Candida glabrata (12) (26.88%), Candida parapsilosis (6) (13.44%), Candida krusi (4) (8.96%), Candida tropical (3) (6.72%). Through the analysis of data that collected from patients, there were non-significant, relationships were found between Candida infection and age group, gender, smoking type of diabetic. But there was significant, relationship found between candida infection and family history. All data were statistically analyzed depending on SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) version 18 (2009) C. albicans is the most common isolated among the total Candida species, and Candida glabrata was the most frequent non–albicans species.
