Abstract
|
|
|
|
Despite the increasing frequency of non-albicans candidemia, reported pneumonia cases due to Candida glabrata are rare. A 50-year-old diabetic woman developed cough and pleuritic chest pain, which were refractory to empirical antibiotics and anti-tuberculosis treatment for several months. The causative organism of the pneumonia wasC. glabrata, which was cultured in bronchoalveolar lavage and blood culture specimens. Amphotericin therapy resulted in successful resolution of the pneumonia and candidemia. This is the first proven case ofC. glabrata pneumonia in Korea.
