Abstract

Antifungal resistance in Candida species in HIV/AIDS patients due to the scarcity of antifungal agents is important particularly in Iran with an estimate of 46,000 individuals living with HIV. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to determine the resistance rate of Candida spp. isolates from HIV/AIDS positive individuals in Iran from 1999 to 2024.
