Abstract
Eremothecium coryli is a dimorphic fungus of the Saccharomycetes class. While species within this class are known to cause human infection, Eremothecium species have previously only been known as phytopathogens and never been isolated from a human sample. Here, we report the first known case of human E. coryli infection.
Keywords: 28S rRNA sequencing; Eremothecium coryli; Fungal infection; Fungal sequencing; Fungemia; Saccharomyces.
