Candida albicans

No this organism is not the correct cause of Helen's chronic pneumonia. Candida albicans pneumonia is normally seen only in severely immunocompromised hosts. Helen may well be immunocompromised however, sputum sample would have revealed gram positive yeast cells. Try again.

Do you need to go back and look at Helen again?
