Candida blankii is a newly recognized human pathogen. Here we describe a case of bloodstream infection in a preterm neonate. The yeast was repeatedly isolated from blood, and its identity was confirmed by PCR sequencing of rDNA. Additionally, C. blankii DNA was detected directly in a blood sample. The isolates initially developed pink colonies on CHROMagar Candida which later turned into dark metallic blue similar to Candida tropicalis. Inaccurate identification by the VITEK 2 yeast identification system as Stephanoascus ciferrii and intrinsic resistance to fluconazole (MIC 12–16 μg/mL) underscore the need for its accurate identification for appropriate therapeutic management. Keywords: Azole resistance, Candida blankii, molecular identification, neonate |
