ABSTRACT
Candida lipolytica is also called Yarrowia lipolytica, and this is now microbiologically classified as a member of the Yarrowia genus. Y. lipolytica is a rare opportunistic pathogen that was first isolated in 1976 from a patient with traumatic ocular candidiasis. Five cases of infant patients were reported in 2000 in Korea for the first time, and then in 2001 a case was reported from an AML patient. No more cases have been reported since then. The authors experienced the case of a patient with blood culture positivity for Y. lipolytica and this patient had a previous history of raw beef ingestion and long term antibiotics therapy. Thus, we report on this case along with a review of the literature.
