Abstract

Unusual fungi, encountered infrequently in practice, present a significant diagnostic challenge, leading to potential delays in diagnosis and treatment. This study aims to describe a number of cases, where infections were caused by rare yeast pathogens. Organisms isolated included rare Candida species, Geotrichum, Lodderomyces and Trichosporon species. The mean duration of the outcome of the patients from microbiological diagnosis was 20 days. A total of 3 patients succumbed to their illness. This study aims to shed light on the varied clinical presentation and outcome of infections caused by rare yeast pathogens.

Keywords: Candida; Fungemia; Infections; Rare yeast.
