Abstract
Candida dubliniensis is an emerging opportunistic yeast initially identified as a cause of oropharyngeal candidiasis in human immunodeficiency virus‐infected individuals, and recently associated with invasive disease in other immunocompromised hosts. Certain diagnostic characteristics are shared with C. albicans, but differences in epidemiology, microbiology, and potentially clinical management are notable. We report a case of fatal C. dubliniensis bloodstream infection in a solid‐organ transplant recipient and review the literature.Keywords
