RESUMO
We report a case of Candida norvegensis invasive disease in an immunosuppressed renal transplant patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Multiple cultures of peritoneal fluid, blood, and tracheal suction done over a 2-week period were positive for this unusual isolate. Despite treatment with amphotericin B and flucytosine the patient died. This is the first report of C. norvegensis fungemia documented by culture.
