- © 2020, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.A 58-year-old woman was diagnosed with severe endometriosis and had multiple gastrointestinal tract complications for many years. Candida auris and C. parapsilosis were isolated from the bloodstream. Identification of C. auris was confirmed by amplification and sequencing of the internal transcriber spacer and the D1/D2 domain of the large rRNA gene subunit. Antifungal susceptibility was tested in both isolates using the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute protocol M27-A3/S4. The patient evolved favorably with systemic antifungal therapy consisting of caspofungin and liposomal amphotericin B.
