Abstract
We describe a case of catheter-associated Wangiella (Exophiala) dermat itidis fungemia in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected child who w as successfully treated with antifungal therapy and catheter removal. Catheter-associated W. dermatitidis fungemia appears to be distinct fr om previously described cases of disseminated infection with organ inv olvement.
