Romano, D. L. (2008) · VTechWorks (Virginia Tech)

infections are well described in the literature, journals are unlikely to accept additional, essentially repetitive case reports. Thus, the true incidence and prevalence of saccharomyces infections are unknown. I would strongly discourage the use of brewer's yeast in any patient, as it is unproven and potentially dangerous therapy.
