In recent years, an evident rise in the frequency of candidaemia caused by non-albicans Candida species has been reported. In this paper we present three cases of clinically manifested candidaemia caused by Candida utilis in neonatal patients hospitalized in the same neonatal intensive care unit within a 6 month period. To the authors' knowledge, only two cases of C. utilis candidaemia have been reported in the literature to date, but neither of these involved newborns. Clinical resolution and elimination of C. utilis from the blood were achieved using liposomal amphotericin B or caspofungin in all patients.
近年来，由非白念珠菌属念珠菌引起的念珠菌血症的频率明显上升。本文报道了 3 例在同一新生儿重症监护病房住院的新生儿患者由近平滑念珠菌引起的临床表现为念珠菌血症的病例。据作者所知，迄今为止，文献中仅报道了 2 例由近平滑念珠菌引起的念珠菌血症病例，但均与新生儿无关。所有患者均使用脂质体两性霉素 B 或卡泊芬净治疗，临床症状缓解，血液中念珠菌清除。
