摘　　要：A 43-year-old man with a history of rheumatoid heart disease developed endocarditis.Blood culture showed endocarditis was caused by Kodamaea ohmeri and the susceptibility test showed the yeast species were susceptible to itraconazole,amphotericin B,and voriconazole,but susceptible-dose dependent to fluconazole,and resistant to 5-flucytosine.Treated with surgery and anti-fungi agents,the patient recovered from endocarditis.This is the first case of K.ohmeri fungemia found in Chinese from mainland.More and more evidence indicate that K.ohmeri is an important opportunistic pathogen for human beings.A 43-year-old man with a history of rheumatoid heart disease developed endocarditis.
