Kodamaea ohmeri Fungemia Associated with Colonoscopic Stent Insertion: A Case Report / 대한내과학회지

ABSTRACT

Kodamaea (Pichia) ohmeri is a rare fungal pathogen that has recently been identified as an etiological agent of fungemia in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of K. ohmeri fungemia after colonoscopic stent insertion in a 73-year-old female who was successfully treated with a 2-week course of amphotericin B without stent removal. This is the first case report of K. ohmeri fungemia that developed after colonoscopic stent insertion.
