Unusual fungi, encountered infrequently in practice, present a significant diagnostic challenge, leading to potential delays in diagnosis and treatment. This study aims to describe a number of cases, where infections were caused by rare yeast pathogens. Organisms isolated included rare Candida species, Geotrichum, Lodderomyces and Trichosporon species. The mean duration of the outcome of the patients from microbiological diagnosis was 20 days. A total of 3 patients succumbed to their illness. This study aims to shed light on the varied clinical presentation and outcome of infections caused by rare yeast pathogens.
临床上不常见的真菌，其诊断具有挑战性，可能导致诊断和治疗的延迟。本研究旨在描述一些由罕见酵母病原体引起感染的病例。分离出的病原体包括罕见的念珠菌属、地霉属、毛孢子菌属和掷孢酵母属。从微生物学诊断到患者结局的平均时间为 20 天。共有 3 名患者死亡。本研究旨在阐明罕见酵母病原体引起感染的不同临床表现和结局。
