Geotrichum capitatum, formerly known as Trichosporon capitatum, is an uncommon but frequently fatal invasive fungal infection in immunocompromised patients, especially in hematological malignancies. We report a seven-year-old patient with acute myeloid leukemia with Geotrichum septicemia with involvement of the lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys, who had a favorable outcome after therapy. Alteration of antifungal treatment to liposomal amphotericin B resolved the fever with favorable clinical response.
头状地霉，以前称为头状丝孢酵母，是免疫功能低下患者中一种不常见但常致命的侵袭性真菌感染，尤其是在血液系统恶性肿瘤患者中。我们报告了一名7岁的急性髓系白血病患者，患有头状地霉败血症，累及肺、肝、脾和肾，经治疗后预后良好。将抗真菌治疗改为脂质体两性霉素B后，发热消退，临床反应良好。
