Fungemia Due to Torulopsis glabrata

Southern Medical Journal, 1993
Torulopsis glabrata is a yeast ordinarily considered nonpathogenic. Systemic infection with this yeast occurs in patients who are debilitated, immunosuppressed, diabetic, or receiving multiple antibiotics. We have presented a case of fungemia due to T glabrata in a previously healthy person.

Rhodotorula Fungemia Complicating Staphylococcal Endocarditis

JAMA, 1962
A 56-year-old man with diabetes and staphylococcal endocarditis received intermittent, brief courses of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Fungal superinfection with Rhodotorula resulted. Rhodotorula was cultured repeatedly from the blood and urine during a period of high fever, while the patient was on adequate antibiotic therapy for staphylococcus.

Malassezia furfur Fungemia in Infancy

Clinical Pediatrics, 1987
Malassezia furfur was recovered from blood cultures obtained through an indwelling line in seven severely ill infants hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit. While two of the patients were asymptomatic, the other patients had signs and symptoms compatible with sepsis. One patient had evidence of endocarditis.

Neonatal Fungemia and Amphotericin B

Southern Medical Journal, 1993
Disseminated candidemia is a common nosocomial infection in the neonatal intensive care unit, though only a few studies have reported the outcome of amphotericin B therapy in neonatal candidiasis. Our treatment regimen consisted of an initial daily amphotericin B dose of 0.5 mg/kg. (For infants weighing > 1 kg, the second dose was increased to 1 mg/kg.)

Fungemia in Chronic Cavitary Pulmonary Histoplasmosis

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1981
Syndrome. A 76-year-old man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease developed a progressive cavitary lesion of the right-upper lobe. Studies for neoplasm and acid-fast bacilli were negative. Diagnosis. Buffy-coat smears were prepared by the capillary method for leukocyte concentrates [1] and treated with Wright-Giemsa stain. The smears showed small (

LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS OF BACTEREMIA AND FUNGEMIA

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2001
Many of the variables that affect the laboratory diagnosis of bacteremia and fungemia have been addressed in this article. Whereas the scientific basis and principles for blood cultures are well-established, and the methodology has improved, the diagnosis of bacteremia and fungemia still depends greatly on the care that is taken in obtaining the ...

[Candida fungemia].

Schweizerische medizinische Wochenschrift, 1989
From 1980 to 1986, 52 patients presented with an episode of fungemia due to Candida species at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (representing 2% of the patients with positive blood cultures). In 51 of the 52 patients (98%) the infection was nosocomial, occurring after a median hospital stay of 24 days (range 4-250 days).

Disseminated sporotrichosis with Sporothrix schenckii fungemia

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1984
The laboratory diagnosis and therapeutic management of disseminated sporotrichosis can present many problems to the clinical laboratory and the clinician. Culturing of clinical specimens is necessary because the direct microscopic examination of specimens for Sporothrix schenckii often is not useful.

Intravenous catheter-associated Malassezia furfur fungemia

The American Journal of Medicine, 1987
Malassezia furfur, a lipophilic yeast that is the etiologic agent of tinea versicolor, has not been considered as a cause of serious illness in adults in the past. Two adults are described in whom Malassezia furfur fungemia developed while receiving total parenteral nutrition supplemented with lipids.

Intracardiac Mass Complicating Malassezia furfur Fungemia

Chest, 2000
Malassezia furfur is a lipophilic yeast known to colonize indwelling catheters. Although progression to vasculitis and sepsis has been described, it has rarely caused fungemia in adults receiving nutrition via an indwelling catheter. Difficulty in diagnosis occurs as M furfur does not grow on routine culture media unless it is supplemented with fatty ...
