Most urinary tract infections are due to Candida species, C. albicans being most prevalent. Laboratory research study was used to examine the prevalence of candidiasis amongst undergraduate students of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Uli. A total of 100 students were investigated. Clean catch midstream urine samples were used for the analysis. Standard microbiological procedures were utilized.
