Fungemia is common in critically ill patient populations, and is associated with a high rate of mortality, especially when caused by nonalbicans Candida species. Herein, we describe a fatal case of fungemia following cardiothoracic surgery in which the organism, initially identified as Candida inconspicua, represents a novel species Pichia alaskaensis.
