It has been implicated clinically as causing skin and soft tissue infections, meningitis, splenic abscesses and peritonitis. We present, to our knowledge, the second case of isolation of this organism in a patient with AIDS along with a review of the literature on human infection with A. pullulans<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p>\n \n Case presentation.<\/jats:bold> A 49-year-old man with advanced AIDS and a history of recurrent oesophageal candidiasis was admitted with nausea with vomiting, and odynophagia. He was treated as having a recurrence of oesophageal candidiasis. Given prior Candida albicans<\/jats:italic> isolate susceptibilities and chronic suppression with fluconazole, he was started on micafungin with eventual improvement in his symptoms. A positive blood culture from admission was initially reported to be growing yeast, but four days later the isolate was recognized as a dematiaceous fungus. The final identification of A. pullulans<\/jats:italic> was not available until 1\u2009month after admission. He had completed a 3-week course of micafungin prior to the identification of the isolate, and repeat cultures were negative.<\/jats:p>\n \n Conclusion.<\/jats:bold>\n A. pullulans<\/jats:italic> fungemia is rare but can occur in patients with immune suppression or indwelling catheters. The significance of isolating A. pullulans<\/jats:italic> from a blood culture in terms of whether it is the causative agent of a state of disease often cannot be determined because skin colonization is possible. Further work is needed to clarify the clinical implications of A. pullulans<\/jats:italic> fungemia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1099\/jmmcr.0.005144","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,14]],"date-time":"2018-03-14T14:12:34Z","timestamp":1521036754000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Fungemia caused by Aureobasidium pullulans in a patient with advanced AIDS: a case report and review of the medical literature"],"prefix":"10.1099","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Jaimie","family":"Mittal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center, 3411 Wayne Ave., Bronx, NY 10467, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wendy A.","family":"Szymczak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center, 111 E. 210th Street, Bronx, NY 10467, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liise-anne","family":"Pirofski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center, 3411 Wayne Ave., Bronx, NY 10467, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benjamin T.","family":"Galen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center, 1825 Eastchester Rd., Bronx, NY 10461, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"345","reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijid.2008.02.004"},{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.41.9.4483-4485.2003"},{"key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/0037-8682-0117-2013"},{"key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00313020802436782"},{"key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.idcr.2017.08.017"},{"key":"R6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/bmt.2009.111"},{"key":"R7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/23120053.2016.1155799"},{"key":"R8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.00019-10"},{"key":"R9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/AAC.03095-14"},{"key":"R10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/clind\/16.2.338-a"},{"key":"R11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diagmicrobio.2004.10.007"},{"key":"R12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/13693786.2010.490925"},{"key":"R13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0163-4453(86)91388-5"}],"container-title":["JMM Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.microbiologyresearch.org\/content\/journal\/jmmcr\/10.1099\/jmmcr.0.005144?crawler=true&mimetype=application\/pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,15]],"date-time":"2023-12-15T12:29:11Z","timestamp":1702643351000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.microbiologyresearch.org\/content\/journal\/jmmcr\/10.1099\/jmmcr.0.005144"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,1]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1099\/jmmcr.0.005144","relation":{},"ISSN":["2053-3721"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2053-3721","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,1]]}}}
