Background  Invasive candidiasis (IC) is the most common invasive fungal infection. The epidemiology of IC in hospitalized patients has been widely investigated in many metropolitan cities; however, little information from medium and small cities is known.    Methods  A 5-year retrospective study was carried out to analyze the prevalence, species distribution, antifungal susceptibility, risk factors and mortality of inpatients with invasive  Candida  infection in a regional tertiary teaching hospital in Southwest China.    Results  A total of 243 inpatients with invasive  Candida  infection during the five-year study period were identified, with a mean annual incidence of 0.41 cases per 1000 admissions and a 30-day mortality rate of 12.3%. The species distributions of  Candida albicans ,  Candida glabrata ,  Candida tropicalis ,  Candida krusei ,  Candida parapsilosis  and other  Candida  species was 45.3, 30.0, 15.2, 4.9, 2.1 and 2.5%, respectively. The total resistance rates of fluconazole (FCA), itraconazole (ITR) and voriconazole (VRC) were 18.6, 23.1 and 18.5%, respectively. Respiratory dysfunction, pulmonary infection, cardiovascular disease, chronic/acute renal failure, mechanical ventilation, abdominal surgery, intensive care in adults, septic shock and IC due to  C. albicans  were associated with 30-day mortality ( P < 0.05 ) according to the univariate analyses. Respiratory dysfunction [ odds ratio  (OR), 9.80; 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.24–29.63;  P  < 0.001] and IC due to  C. albicans  (OR, 3.35; 95% CI, 1.13–9.92;  P  = 0.029) were the independent predictors of 30-day mortality.    Conclusions  This report shows that the incidence and mortality rates are lower and that the resistance rates to azoles are higher in medium and small cities than in large cities and that the species distributions and risk factors in medium and small cities are different from those in large cities in China. It is necessary to conduct epidemiological surveillance in medium and small cities to provide reference data for the surveillance of inpatients with IC infections.
