Pichia ohmeri fungemia.

Abstract:

:A patient with a history of diabetes, coronary artery disease, stroke, previous renal transplantation, and multiple hospital admissions for recurrent pancreatitis was transferred to the hospital from a chronic care facility because of fever and severe epigastric discomfort. At the time of admission, she was receiving hyperalimentation through a central venous TPN catheter. Multiple blood cultures obtained on the first and second hospital days yielded pure cultures of the yeast, Pichia ohmeri. The patient developed acute renal failure, and despite high-dose amphotericin B therapy, ultimately expired.
