Kodamaea ohmeri fungemia in severe burn: Case study and literature review

Kodamaea ohmeri is a relatively rare yeast isolated form clinical specimens, and it is known to be a causative fungus of severe invasive infectious diseases in immunocompromised hosts. Herein, we describe fungemia due to K. ohmeri in a patient with a severe extended burn. The isolate was obtained fr...

description Kodamaea ohmeri is a relatively rare yeast isolated form clinical specimens, and it is known to be a causative fungus of severe invasive infectious diseases in immunocompromised hosts. Herein, we describe fungemia due to K. ohmeri in a patient with a severe extended burn. The isolate was obtained from not only blood specimens but also skin lesions. We should be aware of risk for fungemia including K. ohmeri in case of severe burn.
