ABSTRACT

Rhodotorula especies (spp.) son levaduras comensales de la familia Sporidiobolaceae. Rhodotorula rubra es un patógeno oportunista y emergente que tiene la habilidad de colonizar e infectar a los pacientes susceptibles como son los que padecen de enfermedades hematológicas malignas, y está asociado con el uso de catéteres venosos centrales. Hay pocos reportes de casos en niños inmunocomprometidos. Presentamos el caso de una paciente lactante con diagnóstico de leucemia linfoblástica aguda (LLA) B común, que presentó infección fúngica por Rhodotorula rubra.


Rhodotorula species (spp.) are commensal yeasts of the family Sporidiobolaceae. Rhodotorula rubra is an opportunistic and emerging pathogen with the ability to colonize and infect susceptible patients like patients with malignant haematological diseases and it is associated with the use of central venous catheters. Only a few reports have linked found in immunocompromised children. In this article we present the case report of a lactating patient with a diagnosis of common acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B), who presented a fungal infection by Rhodotorula rubra.
