Superficial mycoses are the fungal infections restricted to the outermost non-living layers of the skin and its appendages viz., hair and nails. Their prevalence rate has been reported to be 20%-25% 1 and vary with respect to occupational groups, gender, age group, etc. These infections are more common in tropical as well as subtropical countries where heat, humidity and other favourable conditions aid in their acquisition and maintenance. Although superficial mycotic infections are usually limited to the skin and mucous membranes, these infections are hardly life-threatening but they have importance because of their worldwide distribution, morbidity and transmission from one person/animal to another.Over the last decades, it has been observed that an increasing number of non-dermatophytic fungi, like, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Chaetomium, Curvularia, Fusarium, Penicillium, Scopulariopsis and Trichosporon, have also emerged as causal agents of superficial mycoses in humans, producing almost clinically similar lesions as caused by dermatophytes. 2,3 Although both dermatophytes and non-dermatophytes have been known to cause superficial mycoses all over the world, their incidence, distribution, prevalence, epidemiology, clinical manifestation and target hosts may vary from region to region. 4,5 In this review, more emphasis has been provided on information related to skin and hair infections.

Summary Background Kodamaea ohmeri, previously known as Pichia ohmeri or Yamadazyma ohmeri, belongs to the Saccharomycetaceae family and the Ascomycetae class, is the telomorphic form of C guilliermondii var. membranaefaciens and is frequently mistaken for Candida, as they belong to the same family. It has been isolated from environmental sources, such as sand, pools, seawater and fruits, while the last decades it is recognised as a rare pathogen that causes life‐threatening infections in humans. The purpose of this study was to systemically review all published cases of K ohmeri infections in the literature and describe the epidemiology, microbiology, antimicrobial susceptibility, treatment and outcomes of these infections in humans. Methods Systematic review of PubMed (through 27th December 2019) for studies providing epidemiological, clinical, microbiological as well as treatment data and outcomes of K ohmeri infections. Results A total of 35 studies, containing data of 44 patients, were included in the analysis. The most common K ohmeri infections were those of the bloodstream, infective endocarditis and onychomycosis. Previous antibiotic use, presence of a central venous catheter, parenteral nutrition and cancer were very common among patients. Mortality was high in the case of fungemias but low for other types of infections. Amphotericin B and fluconazole are the most common agents used for treatment, even though alarming MICs for fluconazole were noted. Conclusions This systematic review thoroughly describes infections by K ohmeri and provides information on their epidemiology, clinical presentation, microbiology, antibiotic resistance patterns, treatment and outcomes.

“…Among these, eight were published in languages other than English or Chinese, nine were without available full texts, three focused on epidemiology or surveillance, two involved colonization rather than infection, and four provided insufficient information. Consequently, 51 studies were selected for further analysis (Figure 1), including 49 sporadic cases (Jin and Jin, 1994;Bergman et al, 1998;Choy et al, 2000;Matute et al, 2000;Hitomi et al, 2002;Huang, 2002;Joao et al, 2002;Liu et al, 2002;Puerto et al, 2002;Reina et al, 2002;Shin et al, 2003;Han et al, 2004;Ostronoff et al, 2006;Taj-Aldeen et al, 2006;Lee et al, 2007;Mahfouz et al, 2008;De Barros et al, 2009;Poojary and Sapre, 2009;Yang et al, 2009;Chiu et al, 2010;Menon et al, 2010;Shaaban et al, 2010;Shang et al, 2010;Yanghua et al, 2010;Al-Sweih et al, 2011;Gonzalez-Avila et al, 2011;Sundaram et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2011;Santino et al, 2013;Xiao et al, 2013;Biswal et al, 2015;Bokhary and Hussain, 2015;Capoor et al, 2015;Das et al, 2015;Distasi et al, 2015;Cao et al, 2016;Giacobino et al, 2016;…”

“…As for the non-invasive infections, two cases of oral mucositis (Menon et al, 2010;Santino et al, 2013) and one each of onychomycoses (Gonzalez-Avila et al, 2011), cellulitis (Han et al, 2004) and subcutaneous infection (Yu et al, 2020), were reported. Despite being a non-invasive infection, a patient who developed cellulitis due to multiple infections involving K. ohmeri, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis, and Enterococcus, developed tissue necrosis and a purulent discharge, and finally died of the infection (Han et al, 2004).…”

Background:Kodamaea ohmeri, previously known as Pichia ohmeri or Yamadazyma ohmeri, has been regarded as an emerging human pathogen in recent decades, and has caused various types of infections with high mortality. This study systematically reviewed all the published cases of K. ohmeri infection, aiming to have a better understanding of the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the organism.Methods: All the published literature (as of March 31, 2021) on K. ohmeri, in four databases: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and CNKI, were systematically reviewed to select appropriate studies for summarizing the demographic information, clinical and microbiological characteristics of relevant infections.Results: A total of 51 studies involving 67 patients were included for final analysis, including 49 sporadic cases and two clusters of outbreaks. Neonates and the elderly constituted the majority of patients, and fungemia was the dominant infection type. Comorbidities (like malignancy, diabetes, and rheumatism), invasive operations, previous antibiotic use and prematurity, were commonly described in patients. Gene sequencing and broth microdilution method, were the most reliable way for the identification and antifungal susceptibility testing of K. ohmeri, respectively. Amphotericin B and fluconazole were the commonest antifungal therapies administered. The calculated mortality rates for K. ohmeri infection was higher than that of common candidemia.Conclusion: In this study, we systematically reviewed the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, microbiological features, treatment, and outcomes, of all the published cases on K. ohmeri. Early recognition and increased awareness of K. ohmeri as an emerging human pathogen by clinicians and microbiologists is important for effective management of this organism.
