Chronic vulvovaginitis caused by Candida dubliniensis in an immunologically competent adult female

Catheter-related fungemia caused by Candida dubliniensis.

Infections caused by Candida dubliniensis in humans are rare and have never been reported in Taiwan. We report two cancer patients with catheter-related fungemia due to C. dubliniensis infection in Taiwan. The two isolates were confirmed to the species level using an oligonucleotide array system and sequence analysis, and both showed high in vitro susceptibilities to nine antifungal agents. The...

Candida dubliniensis: An update.

The increased incidence of fungal infections during the last decade has been well-documented [1-4]. Given that one of the most important factors contributing to this phenomenon is the increased numbers of immunocompromised individuals, it is perhaps not surprising that species previously not associated with human disease and novel species previously unknown to science have been identified as po...

First reported case of endocarditis caused by Candida dubliniensis.

Candida dubliniensis is an uncommon cause of bloodstream infection. We describe the first reported case of endocarditis caused by C. dubliniensis and the use of a rapid and novel real-time PCR assay based on the internal transcribed spacer 2 variable region of the rRNA operon that was used to identify this organism.

Candida glabrata: an emergent opportunist in vulvovaginitis.

BACKGROUND Candida genus has various species. The incidence of C. glabrata has presented itself with more frequency over the past years with clinical importance. METHODS A case study was made to determine the frequency of C. glabrata in 468 patients who presented clinical symptomatology for vulvovaginal candidiasis and the in vitro response for fluconazole using two methods: diffusion in agar...
