“…In one of the studies, review of previous cases suggests, central venous catheters being a major predisposing factor [12,21]. K. ohmeri fungemia associated with colonoscopic stent insertion has recently been reported by Yu TS et al, [22].…”

A 50-year-old male patient was diagnosed with Large B cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. After receiving three cycles of chemotherapy with high dose cytoarabinoside + methotrexate+ endoxan presented to the medical oncology department of our hospital for further management. He was a known case of type 2 diabetes mellitus. On examination, he was conscious, oriented, afebrile, with pallor, generalized weakness, bilateral lower limb paraesthesia, hepatosplenomegaly and supraclavicular and inguinal lymphadenopathy. MRI and PET CT suggested intracranial metastasis and the patient was given first cycle of second line chemotherapy

“…[3][4][5] These three cases of P. ohmeri fungemia developed in patients with several underlying conditions, such as diabetes, postrenal transplantation status, hyperalimentation, abdominal surgery, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, pacemaker implantation, and squamous cell cancer. In particular, all three cases were catheterrelated fungemias.…”

“…The susceptibility of P. ohmeri to antifungal drugs was not investigated, but based on the fact that this drug failed to control the infection, this organism seems to be clinically resistant to fluconazole. 3,5,6 Catheter retention was associated with a poor outcome in candidemia. 8,9 Therefore, early removal of a central venous catheter may be required in order to provide favorable outcomes in these cases.…”

“…When grown together on solid as well as liquid media, the yeast brings about the inhibition of this parasitic fungus, coagulation and leakage of its cytoplasm (Emmanuel et al, 2001). However, it was also reported that Pichia ohmeri could cause some kind of central-venous-catheter-asso-ciated infection (Hitomi et al, 2002).…”

A total of 328 yeast strains from seawater, sediments, mud of salterns, the guts of marine fish and marine algae were obtained. The results of routine identification and molecular methods show that five yeast strains obtained in this study belonged to Pichia spp., including Pichia guilliermondii 1uv-small, Pichia ohmeri YF04d, Pichia fermentans YF12b, Pichia burtonii YF11A and Pichia anomala YF07b. Further studies revealed that Pichia anomala YF07b could produce killer toxin against pathogenic yeasts in crabs while Pichia guilliermondii 1uv-small could produce high activity of extracellular inulinase. It is advisable to test if Pichia ohmeri YF04d obtained in this study is related to central-venous-catheter-associated infection.
