Candida is a large genus of yeast, consisting of about 150 species, among which C.albicans is the most prevalent fungal species of the human microbiota. C. albicans is the most important fungal opportunistic pathogen that can cause infection when the host becomes debilitated or immunocompromised. We report a case of a scalp infection by C.albicans in a patient without an obvious immunocompromised state.
念珠菌是一大类酵母，约由150个物种组成，其中白色念珠菌是人类微生物群中最常见的真菌物种。白色念珠菌是最重要的真菌性机会致病菌，当宿主衰弱或免疫功能低下时可引发感染。我们报告了一例无明显免疫功能低下状态的患者发生白色念珠菌头皮感染的病例。
