Yeasts belonging to the genus Torulopsis, though generally considered saprophytes, are capable of causing serious illness in compromised patients. Torulopsis infections in patients with no apparent underlying disease are rare. We have described a previously healthy man who had osteomyelitis due to Torulopsis holmii as a complication of a penetrating hand injury. Despite in vitro susceptibility of the organism to amphotericin B and flucytosine and prolonged therapy with these agents, the infection relapsed after an apparent initial response.
虽然一般认为属于球拟酵母属的酵母菌是腐生菌，但它们能够在身体虚弱的患者中引起严重疾病。在没有明显潜在疾病的患者中，球拟酵母感染很罕见。我们描述了一名先前健康的男性，他因手部穿透伤并发了由霍氏球拟酵母引起的骨髓炎。尽管该微生物在体外对两性霉素B和氟胞嘧啶敏感，且用这些药物进行了长时间治疗，但在最初有明显反应后感染仍复发了。
