Chronic Candida dubliniensis meningitis in a lung transplant recipient

We report a case of a possible donor derived Candida dubliniensis infection in a lung transplant recipient, who initially presented with empyema that was treated successfully, but subsequently developed chronic meningitis. Diagnosis was delayed due to the low yield of CSF cultures, and was confirmed with fungal PCR and BD glucan assay.
