Resumo

Background.Candida haemulonii, a yeast species that often exhibits antifungal resistance, rarely causes human infection. During 2004–2006, unusual yeast isolates with phenotypic similarity to C. haemulonii were recovered from 23 patients (8 patients with fungemia and 15 patients with chronic otitis media) in 5 hospitals in Korea.
