Gut-derived fungemia due to Kodamaea ohmeri combined with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis: a case report
2022
Overview
Background
Kodamaea ohmeri
is a rare pathogen with high mortality and is found among blood samples in a considerable proportion; however, gastrointestinal infection of
K. ohmeri
is extremely rare. Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is also an uncommon fungal; these two fungal infections reported concomitantly are unprecedented.
Case presentation
We described a case of a 37-year-old male who got infected with
K. ohmeri
and invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. We used the mass spectrometry and histopathology to identify these two fungal infections separately. For the treatment of
K. ohmeri
, we chose caspofungin. As for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, we used voriconazole, amphotericin B, and then surgery. The patient was treated successfully through the collaboration of multiple disciplines.
Conclusions
We speculate that the destruction of the intestinal mucosa barrier can make the intestine one of the ways for certain fungi to infect the human body.
