Abstract
Apart from cryptococcosis and histoplasmosis, which are mycoses contained by T cell-mediated mechanisms of host defense, fungemia is rarely found in AIDS patients. The frequency of fungemia due to Candida spp. has been reported to be as low as 1%. We report a non-neutropenic AIDS patient who presented a candidemia which probably arose from her gastrointestinal tract.Entities:
