Abstract
Kodamaea (Pichia) ohmeri is an emerging fatal opportunistic fungal infection. We describe the case of a 9-year-old boy known to have steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. The child, on peritoneal dialysis and cyclosporine, presented with peritonitis related to K. ohmeri. The patient's condition was cured by immediate removal of the peritoneal catheter and treatment with Caspofungin, which was prescribed for susceptible fungal infection.
