Abstract
The case of a white-heroin addict who developed disseminated candidiasis following coinfection by Candida glabrata and Candida albicans is reported. Genomic random amplified polymorphic DNA typing suggested that the Candida glabrata blood isolates originated in the oral cavity of the patient. This case strengthens the evidence that Candida species other than Candida albicans can be involved in the pathogenesis of disseminated candidiasis in heroin addicts.Entities:
