Debaryomyces hansenii (Candida famata), a rare human fungal pathogen often misidentified as Pichia guilliermondii (Candida guilliermondii).
Debaryomyces hansenii is a hemiascomycetous yeast commonly found in natural substrates and in various types of cheese. Pichia guilliermondii is widely distributed in nature and is a common constituent of the normal human microflora. Both species have been described in human infections but are extremely difficult to differentiate phenotypically. Thus, frequent errors in identification occur. The...
متن کاملSeptic arthritis due to Fusobacterium nucleatum in an immunocompetent patient.
A 6-year-old boy was admitted because of pain, swelling and loss of function in his left knee, with an onset 2 weeks prior. His past medical history included the repeated bouts of otitis, without other diseases. Two days before, he had presented fever and abdominal pain, which limited itself. The patient had no other musculoskeletal symptoms or oropharyngeal manifestations. The physical examina...
متن کاملDisseminated Necrotizing Leukoencephalopathy Complicating Septic Shock in an Immunocompetent Patient
Disseminated necrotizing leukoencephalopathy (DNL) is characterized by multiple microscopic foci of white matter necrosis. DNL was initially thought to be exclusively associated with immunosuppression conditions but it has been recently described in immunocompetent patients in septic shock. A 90-year-old immunocompetent woman with no previous neurological impairment presented with septic shock ...
متن کاملMolecular identification of Pichia guilliermondii, Debaryomyces hansenii and Candida palmioleophila
Traditional phenotypic methods and commercial kits based on carbohydrate assimilation patterns are unable to consistently distinguish among isolates of Pichia guilliermondii, Debaryomyces hansenii and Candida palmioleophila. As result, these species are often misidentified. In this work, we established a reliable method for the identification/differentiation of these species. Our assay was vali...
متن کاملSeptic Shock Due to Candidemia: Outcomes and Predictors of Shock Development
BACKGROUND The present report describes the outcomes of a cohort of patients with Candida induced septic shock. METHODS Retrospective analysis of individuals who had at least one positive blood culture for Candida species ≥ 48 h after ICU admission. Data from patients that developed septic shock within 48 hr of the positive blood culture were compared to non-shock candidemic patients. Patient...
