摘要

我们报告一例7个月大的女性长时间高热对广谱抗生素和抗疟疾药物无反应。尽管阴性培养和成像，第28天的吉姆萨染色外周血涂片显示酵母细胞，提示真菌败血症在长期抗生素暴露和血小板减少的背景下。患者口服氟康唑反应良好，临床完全恢复。本病例强调了外周血涂片检查在资源有限的情况下诊断酵母菌感染的价值。

Fungal sepsis in a 7-month-old female: diagnosis through peripheral blood smear

We report a case of a 7-month-old female with prolonged high-grade fever unresponsive to broad-spectrum antibiotics and antimalarial drugs. Despite negative cultures and imaging, a Giemsa-stained peripheral blood smear on day 28 revealed yeast cells, suggesting fungal sepsis in the context of prolonged antibiotic exposure and thrombocytopenia. The patient responded well to oral fluconazole, with full clinical recovery. This case underscores the value of peripheral blood smear examination in diagnosing yeast infections in resource-limited settings.
