Abstract

Background

Rhodotorula species were traditionally considered non-virulent environmental microorganisms, but are nowadays considered important human pathogens, especially in immunocompromised individuals.

Case report

We present the case of a 73 year-old man with diarrhea, anorexia and fever. In the blood analyses, both aerobic blood culture bottles yielded the growth of Rhodotorula dairenensis. The MALDI-TOF MS score was inadequate to provide an identification, which was achieved by means of molecular techniques. Treatment with an echinocandin was started, but the patient died.

Conclusions

Basidiomycetous yeast genera such as Rhodotorula can cause invasive and severe infections, e.g., fungemia, especially in patients with central venous catheter or another indwelling device.

癌症患者的戴氏红酵母菌血症
传统上,hodotorula被认为是非毒性的环境微生物,但现在被认为是重要的人类病原体,特别是在免疫功能低下的个体中。病例报告我们报告一例73岁男性腹泻,厌食和发烧。在血液分析中,两个有氧血培养瓶都产生了daidotorula ensis的生长。MALDI-TOF MS评分不足以提供鉴定,这是通过分子技术实现的。开始使用棘白菌素治疗,但患者死亡。结论担子菌属如红酵母属可引起侵袭性和严重感染,如真菌血症,特别是在中心静脉导管或其他留置装置的患者中。

期刊介绍: Revista Iberoamericana de Micología (Ibero-American Journal of Mycology) is the official journal of the Asociación Española de Micología, Asociación Venezolana de Micología and Asociación Argentina de Micología (The Spanish, Venezuelan, and Argentinian Mycology Associations). The Journal gives priority to publishing articles on studies associated with fungi and their pathogenic action on humans and animals, as well as any scientific studies on any aspect of mycology. The Journal also publishes, in Spanish and in English, original articles, reviews, mycology forums, editorials, special articles, notes, and letters to the editor, that have previously gone through a scientific peer review process.
