Abstract

Infections due to the yeast Rhodotorula are rare in humans. R. mucilaginosa is responsible for the majority of human cases, and immunocompromised individuals with central venous catheters are at greatest risk. There are few reports of bloodstream infections due to R. mucilaginosa in immunocompetent patients. We present a case report of fungemia due to R. mucilaginosa in an immunocompetent, critically ill patient, with good evolution with catheter removal and fluconazole therapy. We briefly review the spectrum of infections due to R. mucilaginosa and the management of bloodstream infections due to this yeast.

摘要

由红酵母属酵母菌引起的人类感染较为罕见。粘红酵母是大多数人类病例的致病菌，带有中心静脉导管的免疫功能低下个体风险最大。关于免疫功能正常患者发生粘红酵母血流感染的报道较少。我们报告一例免疫功能正常的危重症患者发生粘红酵母真菌血症的病例，通过拔除导管和氟康唑治疗后病情好转。我们简要回顾了粘红酵母引起的感染谱以及该酵母菌引起的血流感染的治疗。
