Candida dubliniensis is a recently described species that shares many features with Candida albicans. There are very few reports of isolation of this species from bloodstream in adults and paediatric population. Here we report a case of neonatal septicaemia produced by C. dubliniensis in a premature infant admitted to neonatal intensive care unit. The preterm male neonate with a gestational age of 30 weeks and a birth weight of 1.2 kg presented with respiratory distress syndrome for which mechanical ventilation was provided. In spite of receiving antibiotics, the patient developed fever. C.dubliniensis was repeatedly isolated from the blood culture of the patient collected aseptically from different sites. The patient was successfully treated with amphotericin B.
都柏林念珠菌是一种最近才被描述的物种，它与白色念珠菌有许多共同特征。在成人和儿童群体中，从血液中分离出该物种的报告非常少。在此，我们报告一例在新生儿重症监护病房住院的早产儿中由都柏林念珠菌引起的新生儿败血症病例。这名胎龄30周、出生体重1.2千克的早产男婴因呼吸窘迫综合征接受了机械通气。尽管使用了抗生素，患者仍出现发热。从患者不同部位无菌采集的血培养物中反复分离出都柏林念珠菌。患者接受两性霉素B治疗后成功康复。
