A Rare Case of <i>Cyberlindnera jadinii</i> Fungemia in a Kidney Transplant Recipient: A Case Report

Despite revolutionary improvements in mortality, cardiovascular events, and quality of life, kidney transplantation has been plagued with perioperative mortality, graft rejection, and immunosuppression-associated complications, most commonly infections. Fungal infections in particular only account for 5% of all cases but have the worst outcomes, with mortality ranging between 25% and 80% in solid organ transplant recipients. <i>Candida</i>, <i>Cryptococcus</i>, and <i>Aspergillus</i> species are the commonest causative agents, and isolated cases of other species have been reported in other immunosuppressed pathologies. Here, we present the first recorded case of <i>Cyberlindnera jadinii</i> fungemia in a kidney transplant recipient, highlighting the need for close surveillance, early diagnosis, and potentially continuing posttransplant antifungal prophylaxis beyond the current recommended duration.
