Candida spp. is the most common opportunistic fungal infection in human and causes central nervous system (CNS) infections (1). Candida spp. causes an infection with high level of mortality and morbidity in CNS. There are some risk factors for the development of fungus infection in CNS such as; immunosuppression diseases, broad spectrum antibiotic therapy or corticosteroid treatment, carrying intravascular catheters, having neurosurgery operations, insertion of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) derivate systems and IV drug usage. Foreign devices as intravenous catheters implanted in a susceptible host are known to act as a nidus for the infectious agent (2). C. albicans is an agent in most cases. While C. lusitaniae is reported to be the cause of the catheter-associated meningitis (3), C. utilis and C. lusitaniae together have not been reported to cause the meningitis in literature. Here, we report a catheter-associated meningitis case caused by C. utilis and C. lusitaniae together.
