Candida dubliniensis fungemia: the first four cases in North America

M E Brandt et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2000 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

We report the first four North American cases of Candida dubliniensis fungemia, including the first isolation of this organism from the bloodstream of an HIV-infected person. All isolates were susceptible in vitro to commonly used antifungal drugs. This report demonstrates that C. dubliniensis can cause bloodstream infection; however, the incidence of disease is not known.
