Abstract
Four isolates of Candida albicans recovered from the blood and cerebra l spinal fluid of a 66-year-old man during episodes of systemic infect ion separated by 3 months and antifungal therapy were analyzed by a va riety of molecular typing methods. All four isolates were shown to rep resent the same strain, indicating a relapse of infection rather than reinfection.
