Description:
<jats:title>Summary</jats:title><jats:p>We report a case of a 62‐year‐old female patient who developed peritonitis after receiving a renal transplant. <jats:italic>Candida glabrata</jats:italic> was detected and treated with voriconazole. As the patient did not improve under therapy, laparotomy was performed. Mould‐like plaques were found on the peritoneum. Using culture as well as pan‐fungal polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by DNA microarray hybridisation of the amplicon, the causative agent was identified as <jats:italic>Rhizopus microsporus</jats:italic>. Despite aggressive surgical treatment, intravenous therapy with amphotericin B and topical administration of Lavasept (polyhexamethylenbiguanide), the patient died.</jats:p>
