ABSTRACT
Pichia ohmeri is an yeast-like fungus used in the food industry for fermentation. This organism has been implicated in human disease only in a few case reports. We describe herewith two cases of Pichia ohmeri fungemia in immunocompromised pediatric patients with central venous catheters. A 7-year-old patient with Burkitt's lymphoma undergoing chemotherapy and a newborn with low birth weight developed fungemia during hospitalizations. Both patients were receiving parenteral nutrition through central venous catheters. Both patients succumbed despite empiric treatment with amphotericin B in Case 1. A brief review of the literature ensues with the case reports.
