Abstrakt: We have presented a case of a stable diabetic outpatient who had an acute illness that proved to be Torulopsis glabrata fungemia responsive to amphotericin B therapy. Her only apparent additional predisposition was a nonobstructing renal calculus. Fungemia with this organism in an outpatient is most unusual. T glabrata should be an additional consideration in outpatient as well as inpatient illnesses, especially in diabetic women.
