Successful therapy of Candida pulcherrima fungemia in a premature newborn with liposomal amphotericin B and micafungin

New Candida species may cause bloodstream infections challenging current therapeutic approaches because of unpredictable susceptibility and virulence. In the present report, we describe a fungemia case due to Candida pulcherrima in a premature neonate. After full in vitro diagnostic workup, the neon...
