Resumo: Objectives: Rhodotorula is an environmental yeast that belongs to Basidiomycota Phylum. Rhodotorula species are ubiquitous in nature, can be found in soil and freshwater. Immunocompromised patients can develop Rhodotorulosis due to wide-ranging exposure to Rhodotorula in the hospital environment. Case Discussion: The patient was a 3-year-old male with a diagnosis of Pro B-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). He was admitted to the hospital with complaints of malaise, fatigue, weight loss, and diarrhea between courses of chemotherapy. Rhodotorula was isolated from the patient’s blood culture obtained during the elevation of temperature. After 14 days of amphotericin B treatment, clinical situation of the patient was improved and he was discharged. Conclusion: Rhodotorula spp. as a rare yet emerging pathogen, often presents as fever of unknown etiology resistant to antibacterial treatment and can be associated with fungemia and other severe complications.

Las especies de Rhodotorula son ubicuas en la naturaleza, se pueden encontrar en el suelo y en agua dulce. Los pacientes inmunodeprimidos pueden desarrollar Rhodotorulosis debido a una amplia exposición a Rhodotorula en el entorno hospitalario. Descripción del caso: El paciente era un niño de 3 años con diagnóstico de leucemia linfoblástica aguda Pro B (LLA). El paciente ingresó en el hospital con quejas de malestar, fatiga, pérdida de peso y diarrea entre ciclos de quimioterapia. Se aisló Rhodotorula del hemocultivo del paciente que se obtuvo durante la elevación de la temperatura. Después de 14 días de tratamiento con anfotericina B, la situación clínica del paciente mejoró y fue dado de alta. Conclusión: Rhodotorula spp. como patógeno poco común pero emergente, a menudo se presenta como fiebre de etiología desconocida resistente al tratamiento antibacteriano y puede asociarse con fungemia y otras complicaciones graves.  Objetivos: Rhodotorula é uma levedura ambiental que pertence ao filo Basidiomycota. As espécies de Rhodotorula são onipresentes na natureza, podem ser encontradas no solo e na água doce. Pacientes imunocomprometidos podem desenvolver rodotorulose devido à ampla exposição a Rhodotorula no ambiente hospitalar. Descrição do caso: O paciente era uma criança de 3 anos de idade com diagnóstico de Leucemia Linfoblástica Aguda Pro B (LLA). O paciente deu entrada no hospital com queixas de mal-estar, cansaço, perda de peso e diarreia entre os ciclos de quimioterapia. A Rhodotorula foi isolada da hemocultura do paciente obtida durante a elevação da temperatura. Após 14 dias de tratamento com anfotericina B, a situação clínica do paciente melhorou e o paciente recebeu alta. Conclusão: Rhodotorula spp. como um patógeno raro, porém emergente, frequentemente se apresenta como febre de etiologia desconhecida resistente ao tratamento antibacteriano e pode estar associada a fungemia e outras complicações graves.Unisc2022-05-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/article/view/1632510.17058/reci.v12i1.16325Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção; Vol. 12 No. 1 (2022)Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção; v. 12 n. 1 (2022)2238-3360reponame:Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecçãoinstname:Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul (UNISC)instacron:UNISCenghttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/article/view/16325/10440Copyright (c) 2022 Mehmet Erinmezhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessErinmez, MehmetZer, YaseminBüyüktaş Manay, Ayşe2023-05-23T13:19:10Zoai:ojs.online.unisc.br:article/16325Revistahttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/indexONGhttp://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/oai||liapossuelo@unisc.br|| julia.kern@hotmail.com||reci.unisc@gmail.com2238-33602238-3360opendoar:2023-05-23T13:19:10Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção - Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul (UNISC)false
