چکیده
We report a case of intravenous catheter-associated fungemia caused by the recently described species Candida mengyuniae, a yeast not previously associated with human disease. The infection occurred in an 89-year-old woman with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Yeast isolates recovered from a catheter and blood were identified as C. mengyuniae by sequencing of the 18S, 5.8S internal transcribed spacer, and D1/D2 26S ribosomal DNA domains.

We report on a case of fungemia due to fluconazole-resistant Candida nivariensis (MIC, > or =128 microg/ml). Internal transcribed spacer PCR followed by microchip gel electrophoresis with a blood culture that tested positive revealed a unique pattern different from those of other pathogenic yeasts.
متن کاملCentral venous catheter-related bloodstream infection and Cryptococcus neoformans.
This is the first case reported of central venous catheter-related fungemia due to C. neoformans. A patient with chronic renal failure developed a fungemia during the treatment of a dialysis-associated bacteremia. Cryptococcus neoformans grew in the catheter tip and blood culture. We addressed questions about this catheter-related fungemia.
