ABSTRACT
Apart from cryptococcosis and histoplasmosis, which are mycoses contained by T cell-mediated mechanisms of host defense, fungemia is rarely found in AIDS patients. The frequency of fungemia due to Candida spp. has been reported to be as low as 1. We report a non-neutropenic AIDS patient who presented a candidemia which probably arose from her gastrointestinal tract.
