RESUMEN
Las levaduras del género Rhodotorula son patógenos oportunistas emergentes, especialmente en pacientes inmunocomprometidos. Se presenta el caso de un niño de 9 años con sarcoma de Ewing en tratamiento con quimioterapia que cursó con una probable fungemia por Rhodotorula mucilaginosa. Se identificaron varios factores de riesgo tales como la presencia de un catéter venoso central (CVC) y una neoplasia maligna sólida. El diagnóstico se realizó a través de un hemocultivo de una rama del CVC. Nuestra cepa fue identificada como R. Mucilaginosa por morfofisiología y pruebas bioquimicas. El éxito terapeutico se basó en el retiro del CVC y en el tratamiento con anfotericina B desoxicolato como primera alternativa.
ABSTRACT
Yeasts from Rhodotorula genus are opportunistic pathogen that emerge especially in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of a 9-years-old boy, he developed an Ewing’s sarcoma that was treated with chemotherapy an underwent with problable fungemia by Rhodotorula mucilaginosa. Several risk factors were identified such as presence of a central venous catheter (CVC) and a solid malignant neoplasm. The diagnosis was made by blood culture of a branch of the CVC. Our isolated was identified as R. mucilaginosa by morphofisiology and biochemical test. The therapy did success based on withdrawal of CVC and treatment with amphotericin B deoxycholate as the first alternative.
