RESUMEN
Se ha aislado Issatchenkia occidentales de una biopsia de esófago de un joven con leucemia. El paciente presentaba lesiones esofágicas herpéticas un mes después de recibir un trasplante de médula ósea. La identificación del aislamiento no se pudo realizar por los métodos comerciales existentes, por lo que se recurrió a la secuenciación de un fragmento de DNA amplificado por PCR utilizando cebadores panfúngicos(AU)
ABSTRACT
Issatchenkia occidentalis was isolated from an esophageal biopsy of a young leukemic male patient who underwent bone marrow transplantation. At the time the specimen was collected, the patient was also suffering from esophageal herpetic lesions. The identification of the isolate was not possible by the use of the available(AU)commercial methods. Thus, its identification was done by PCR and DNA sequencing using panfungal primers(AU)
