摘要：

Geotrichum capitatum septicernias are rare, occurring exclusively in immuno-compromised patients. We report a case of a 55-year-old man with acute myeloid leukemia who developed a G. capitatum septicemia with lung and skin Lesions in the post chemotherapy aplasic phase. Treatment with amphotericin B (cumulative dose of 2 g) and maintenance with itraconazote resolved the clinical and radiological manifestations and controlled reactivation of the infection during the subsequent courses of cytotoxic chemotherapy. The emerging role of G. capitatum as an opportunistic agent in immuno-compromised patient is stressed. (c) 2005 Elsevier SAS. AR rights reserved.
