We describe a case of Pichia farinosa bloodstream infection in a lymphoma patient. Phenotypic methods failed to identify the isolate, which was identified by sequence-based methods. This case highlights the importance of implementing molecular methods for the identification of rare fungal pathogens.
我们描述了一例淋巴瘤患者发生粉状毕赤酵母血流感染的病例。表型方法未能鉴定出该分离株,该分离株通过基于序列的方法得以鉴定。该病例凸显了采用分子方法鉴定罕见真菌病原体的重要性。
