Pseudozyma aphidis is an environmental Basidiomycete yeast, and has been involved in the ten past years in rare cases of invasive infection. Pseudozyma species are naturally resistant to caspofungin and often present decreased susceptibility or resistance to fluconazole. This fungus may be difficult to recognize and misidentifications are reported with conventional phenotypical methods. We report a case of P. aphidis invasive infection in an adult with a metastatic ampulloma who had gone through digestive surgery.
蚜虫假丝酵母是一种环境担子菌酵母,在过去十年中涉及罕见的侵袭性感染病例。假丝酵母属对卡泊芬净天然耐药,并且对氟康唑常常呈现敏感性降低或耐药。这种真菌可能难以识别,并且有报道称传统表型方法会出现误鉴定。我们报告了一例患有转移性壶腹肿瘤且接受过消化手术的成人发生蚜虫假丝酵母侵袭性感染的病例。
