Torulopsis glabrata causes an increasingly frequent infection in
immunocompromised adults. In a 1,910-g, 36-week, small-for-gestational-age
neonate, T glabrata caused necrotizing enterocolitis and endophthalmitis.
The fungus was not grown from cultures obtained from four blood specimens
but was seen microscopically in methenamine silver-stained sections of
resected bowel.
