Central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI) due to Exophiala dermatitidis in an adult patient: Case report and review

Exophiala dermatitidis is a dematiaceous fungus with yeast-like and hyphal growth states that may cause cutaneous and visceral infections. Recently, E. dermatitidis has been linked to central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI), probably due to its ability to produce extracellular polysa...
