| Popis: | Candida dubliniensis is a newly recognized species of yeast, which may have been forrmerly identified as Candida albicans, that has been rarely isolated from invasive fungal infections among humans. The authors document a C. dubliniensis fungemia that occurred during the course of a vascular access infection in a 2-year-old who was undergoing active therapy for neuroblastoma. Presumptive C. albicans isolates from an 18-year period were reassessed, and it was found that C. dubliniensis is a rare cause of fungemia among pediatric patients (0.5% of all such isolates). |
