Disseminated Geotrichum capitatum infection with predominant liver involvement in a patient with non Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Geotrichum capitatum is an emerging opportunistic pathogen which causes invasive disease in immunocompromized patients. We describe a patient with non Hodgkin's lymphoma and disseminated infection by G. capitatum with predominant liver involvement, which was proven by repeated positive blood cultures and a liver biopsy. Staining liver biopsy demonstrated the presence of hyphal elements consiste...
متن کاملA case of oral geotrichosis caused by Geotrichum capitatum in an old patient.
Geotrichosis is an uncommon fungal infection. Geotrichum capitatum is commonly acknowledged as an opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes systemic geotrichosis in immunocompromised patients, especially patients with acute leukemia and severe neutropenia. Here, we report a case of oral geotrichosis caused by G. capitatum in an old patient with no hematological malignancies. Fungal cells were d...
متن کاملGalactomannan detection in Geotrichum capitatum invasive infections: report of 2 new cases and review of diagnostic options.
We report 2 cases of Geotrichum capitatum infection in leukemia patients for which Aspergillus galactomannan (GM) assay was positive. The diagnostic options of G. capitatum infections in hematologic patients were reviewed. Although the pathogen was isolated from blood in 77% of cases, diagnostic difficulties remain and GM assay may have a role.
متن کاملGeotrichum capitatum septicaemia in neutropenic patients: case report and review of the literature.
We report a case of systemic infection with Geotrichum capitatum in a patient with acute myeloid leukaemia. Three days before death, the patient developed acute renal failure, probably caused by occlusion of glomerula with hyphae of G. capitatum. Up until now, prophylaxis and treatment of infections caused by Geotrichum capitatum have not been established. However, the prophylactic administrati...
متن کاملAspergillus galactomannan enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay cross-reactivity caused by invasive Geotrichum capitatum.
We report three cases of invasive Geotrichum capitatum infection in patients with acute leukemia for which an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for Aspergillus galactomannan was positive, with no evidence of aspergillosis. Supernatants obtained from suspensions of 17 G. capitatum strains gave positive reactions with the Aspergillus galactomannan ELISA. These clinical and laboratory data...
