Resumen

Lodderomyces elongisporus, a yeast commonly associated with environmental sources, is emerging as a human fungal pathogen. This report presents the first documented case of L.elongisporus colonization in 2 intensive care unit patients in Colombia. Our findings emphasize the need for accurate identification and enhanced surveillance to evaluate its clinical impact in hospital infections.
