This case report discusses a patient with sickle cell disease who presented with fungemia from Pichia anomala (teleomorph: Candida pelliculosa). The organism was identified as P. anomala by MALDI-TOF VITEK mass spectrometry and VITEK 2 yeast identification card. Pichia anomala should be considered in sickle cell patients with recurrent fungemia.
本病例报告讨论了一位镰状细胞病患者,该患者患有来自异常毕赤酵母(同物异名:皮氏假丝酵母)的真菌血症。该生物体通过 MALDI-TOF VITEK 质谱仪和 VITEK 2 酵母鉴定卡鉴定为异常毕赤酵母。在镰状细胞病患者中,应考虑反复发生真菌血症的患者存在异常毕赤酵母感染。
