In recent years, candida species other than Candida albicans have emerged as causes of human candidiasis, particularly in HIV-infected and other immunocompromised people. C. dubliniensis, a recently described species closely related to C. albicans, first isolated from patients with AIDS in Dublin, has been implicated as an agent of oral candidiasis in HIV-positive people. However, it has also been recovered from HIV-negative people, with clinical signs of oral candidiasis and from the genital tract of some women with vaginitis. The first case of bilateral chronic fungal dacryocystitis caused by C. dubliniensis is described in an HIV-negative woman.
近年来,除白色念珠菌外的念珠菌属已成为人类念珠菌病的病因,尤其是在艾滋病毒感染者和其他免疫功能低下者中。都柏林念珠菌是最近描述的一种与白色念珠菌密切相关的菌种,最初从都柏林的艾滋病患者中分离出来,被认为是艾滋病毒阳性者口腔念珠菌病的病原体。然而,在有口腔念珠菌病临床症状的艾滋病毒阴性者以及一些患有阴道炎的妇女的生殖道中也发现了该菌。本文描述了一名艾滋病毒阴性女性由都柏林念珠菌引起的双侧慢性真菌性泪囊炎的首例病例。
