First human pleural infection caused by Naganishia globosa (formerly Cryptococcus saitoi). (PubMed, J Mycol Med) - Jul 9, 2026 - "Liposomal amphotericin B, isavuconazole, fluconazole, and voriconazole were used in the patient's treatment and were modified according to drug tolerance and clinical condition. The absence of yeast growth in follow-up pleural cultures and the patient's survival 1.5 months after discharge indicate a favorable response to therapy. This case highlights the clinical relevance of this uncommon yeast in immunocompromised individuals and underscores the importance of advanced diagnostic tools for accurate identification and increased awareness of rare fungal pathogens."
