Abstract
C albidus and mucormycosis were cultured simultaneously from the pleural space of a patient with end-stage renal disease receiving long-term hemodialysis. There have been only nine previous reports of infection with C albidus, with only one involving the lung. This organism has never before been isolated from the pleural space, and none of the previously reported cases included a coinfection with mucormycosis. We have reviewed and compared all known cases of infection with C albidus.Keywords
