Abstract

Saccharomyces boulardii is widely used as a probiotic compound and is generally thought to be safe. We report one case of fungemia caused by Saccharomyces cerevisiae occurring in an elderly patient treated orally with S. boulardii in association with vancomycin for Clostridium difficile colitis. We do not recommend administering this viable yeast particularly in debilited patient with active colitis.

摘要

布拉氏酵母菌被广泛用作益生菌化合物，一般认为是安全的。我们报告了1例由酿酒酵母引起的真菌血症病例，该病例发生在1名老年患者身上，该患者因艰难梭菌性结肠炎口服布拉氏酵母菌并联合万古霉素进行治疗。我们不建议使用这种活酵母，尤其是在患有活动性结肠炎的虚弱患者中。
