[Candida famata candidemia in immunosuppressed patient: report of a case with literature review].
Candida Famata is an opportunistic pathogen. Very rare cases of candidemia Candida Famata have been described. We report a case of a patient of 16 years undergoing chemotherapy for Hodgkin's disease. The patient was put under voriconazole for 3 weeks with a good evolution. This case confirms the opportunistic pathogen Candida Famata. All insulation in the blood must be considered before a background of immunosuppression.
