XIA, Fang-Qin et al. Successful fluconazole treatment of catheter-related candidemia caused by Candida haemulonii: report of 2 neonatal cases. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2018, vol.116, n.5, pp.e663-e666. ISSN 0325-0075. http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2018.e663.
Candida haemulonii forms part of the non-albicans Candida species. The candidemia caused by C. haemulonii is extremely rare but fatal in neonates. We reported the first two neonates with C. haemulonii candidemia in China which were treated with fluconazole and reviewed two papers previously reported. Our report adds further awareness on C. haemulonii candidemia in critical neonates and points out the importance of an early diagnosis and treatment of this fatal infection.
