Solid organ transplant recipients have a higher risk of developing invasive fungal infections (IFIs) due to immunosuppressive therapy. Cryptococcosis is the third most commonly occurring invasive fungal infection in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Cryptococcemia is associated with high mortality rate. We present a case of cryptococcemia in a 31-year-old female with a pancreas-kidney transplant who was admitted to hospital for the management of a suspected Hemodialysis catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI).
由于免疫抑制治疗,实体器官移植受者发生侵袭性真菌感染(IFI)的风险更高。隐球菌病是实体器官移植(SOT)受者中第三常见的侵袭性真菌感染。隐球菌血症与高死亡率相关。我们报告一例31岁接受胰肾移植的女性患者发生隐球菌血症的病例,该患者因疑似血液透析导管相关血流感染(CRBSI)入院治疗。
