摘要：

Introduction:Kodamaea ohmeri is an emerging fungus recognised as an important pathogen in immunocompromised hosts, responsible for life-threatening infections. Case Presentation: We describe a case of a 69-year-old immunocompetent man with a long history of leg skin ulcers infected by K. ohmeri. This is the first case of leg wounds infected by K. ohmeri in an immunocompetent patient. The infection was successfully treated with voriconazole 200 mg daily. Conclusion: Though rare, K. ohmeri should be considered in patients with skin ulcers that are poorly responsive to medical treatment, even if not immunocompromised.
