We report a case of intravenous catheter-associated fungemia caused by Candida rugosa; this is the first report of such an infection in a human. Multiple cultures of blood taken over a 24-h period and of the intravenous catheter tip were positive for this unusual isolate. The patient was treated with intravenous amphotericin B and made an uneventful recovery. Intravenous cannulae and other intravascular devices are well recognized as potential sites of intravascular infection by a variety of microorganisms, including several Candida species; however, fungemia caused by C. rugosa has not been reported.
我们报告了一例由皱落假丝酵母菌引起的静脉导管相关真菌血症病例；这是此类感染在人类中的首例报告。在24小时内采集的多份血液样本以及静脉导管尖端培养结果均显示这种不常见的分离菌呈阳性。患者接受了静脉注射两性霉素B治疗，康复过程顺利。静脉插管和其他血管内装置被公认为是包括几种假丝酵母菌在内的多种微生物引起血管内感染的潜在部位；然而，由皱落假丝酵母菌引起的真菌血症此前尚未见报道。
