Abstract

Kodamaea (Pichia) ohmeri is a rare fungal pathogen that has recently been identified as an etiological agent of fungemia in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of K. ohmeri fungemia after colonoscopic stent insertion in a 73-year-old female who was successfully treated with a 2-week course of amphotericin B without stent removal. This is the first case report of K. ohmeri fungemia that developed after colonoscopic stent insertion.

저자들은 장점막의 손상을 일으킨 내시경 스텐트 삽입술 후 발생한 Kodamaea ohmeri 진균혈증을 amphotericin B으로 치료 성공한 1예를 경험하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.
