Abstract

Kodamaea ohmeri infection is a relatively rare condition, primarily affecting immunocompromised individuals or those with a history of invasive procedures. The diagnosis of this infection is challenging because of its diverse and complex atypical clinical presentations. In this study, we describe a case of cutaneous infection with Kodamaea ohmeri presenting as erythematous and scaly lesions on both armpits and groin with itching in an 82-year-old man, mimicking intertrigo, and review the relevant literature. The diagnosis was confirmed through fungal microscopy, fungal culture, and mass spectrometry. Antifungal therapy proved to be effective in managing the infection. This case suggests that K. ohmeri, similar to Candida, is a potential pathogen in secondary infection associated with intertrigo. The findings highlight that early identification and diagnosis are crucial for managing K. ohmeri infections effectively.

奥梅里小野蝇感染可能是三叶间继发性感染的病原体:一个案例研究。
奥梅里小蝇感染是一种相对罕见的疾病,主要影响免疫功能低下的个体或有侵入性手术史的个体。这种感染的诊断是具有挑战性的,因为它的多样性和复杂的非典型临床表现。在这项研究中,我们描述了一个82岁男性的皮肤感染小马蝇,表现为腋窝和腹股沟的红斑和鳞状病变,伴有瘙痒,并回顾了相关文献。通过真菌显微镜、真菌培养和质谱分析确诊。抗真菌治疗被证明是有效的控制感染。本病例提示,与念珠菌类似,霍默氏克雷伯氏菌是三门静脉相关继发感染的潜在病原体。研究结果强调,早期识别和诊断对于有效地控制奥梅里氏克雷伯菌感染至关重要。
