  • Title: Candida parapsilosis diagnosed by peripheral blood smear.
    Author: Monihan JM, Jewell TW, Weir GT.
    Journal: Arch Pathol Lab Med; 1986 Dec; 110(12):1180-1. PubMed ID: 3778148.
    Abstract:
    A 52-year-old man presented with a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and Kaposi's sarcoma. Three days after admission for clinical sepsis, yeast forms were noted within monocytes and neutrophils on a routine peripheral blood smear. Blood cultures yielded a pure culture of Candida parapsilosis. Despite antifungal therapy, the patient died 22 days after admission. This case represents the first reported instance of C parapsilosis sepsis diagnosed through a peripheral blood smear.
