First reported case of catheter-related fungemia due to Candida mengyuniae

Abstract:

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.
