We report the first known case of septicemia caused by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It occurred nosocomially in a hyperalimented burned man. It is a rare example of disease caused by S cerevisiae, which, like many saprophytes, can become pathogenic in the debilitated. The case is remarkable for its apparent origin in a bleeding esophageal lesion, for its clinical characteristics, including profound neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, hypothermia, and monocytopenia, and for its cure by amphotericin B.
我们报告了首例已知的由酿酒酵母引起的败血症病例。该病例发生在一名接受高营养治疗的烧伤男性患者身上，属于医院感染。这是由酿酒酵母引起疾病的罕见案例，酿酒酵母与许多腐生菌一样，在身体虚弱的情况下可能致病。该病例因其明显起源于食管出血性病变、其临床特征（包括严重中性粒细胞减少、血小板减少、体温过低和单核细胞减少）以及通过两性霉素B治愈而引人注目。
