Torulopsis glabrata is a yeast ordinarily considered nonpathogenic. Systemic infection with this yeast occurs in patients who are debilitated, immunosuppressed, diabetic, or receiving multiple antibiotics. We have presented a case of fungemia due to T glabrata in a previously healthy person. The predisposing condition resulting in debility and predisposition to fungemia was major vascular surgery. Treatment with amphotericin B eradicated the fungemia.
光滑念珠菌是一种通常被认为无致病性的酵母。这种酵母的系统性感染发生在身体虚弱、免疫抑制、患有糖尿病或正在接受多种抗生素治疗的患者中。我们报告了一例在一名既往健康的个体中由光滑念珠菌引起的真菌血症病例。导致身体虚弱和易患真菌血症的诱发因素是大型血管手术。两性霉素B治疗根除了真菌血症。
