title: [Kodamaea ohmeri fungemia associated with surgery].
abstract: We report a case of fungemia caused by Kodamaea (Pichia) ohmeri associated with surgery in a patient with a history of diabetes and chronic renal failure. Kodamaea ohmeri is a yeast rarely involved in human infections. Since the first report of a case of fungemia in 1998, only thirteen cases of K. ohmeri infection have been so far described in the medical literature.
