| [pulmonary infection by geotrichum capitatum about a case and review of the literature]. | pulmonary geotrichosis is a rare mycosis caused by an arthrospore filamentous fungi of the genus geotrichum. it is an opportunistic infection that develops when underlying conditions are present, particularly immunosuppression including neutropenia. pulmonary mycoses in non-neutropenic patients affect two main populations: the solid organ transplanted patients and patients whose local pulmonary defenses are altered by a chronic underlying lung pathology. we report a case of pulmonary infection g ... | 2014 | 25458367 |
| misidentification of saprochaete clavata as magnusiomyces capitatus in clinical isolates: utility of internal transcribed spacer sequencing and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry and importance of reliable databases. | saprochaete clavata and magnusiomyces capitatus are human pathogens that are frequently mistaken for each other due to their similar phenotypes and erroneous or limited databases. based on internal transcribed spacer (its) sequences, we propose species-specific carbon assimilation patterns and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (maldi-tof ms) fingerprints that enable the identification of s. clavata, m. capitatus, and galactomyces candidus to the species ... | 2014 | 24696028 |

| [three cases of fungemia caused by blastoschizomyces capitatus]. | blastoschizomyces capitatus is a rare fungal pathogen that may lead to severe and fatal systemic infections especially in immunosuppressive individuals. b.capitatus strains have also been reported as the cause of hospital-acquired infections and outbreaks. in this report, three fungemia cases caused by b.capitatus with hematologic malignancies have been presented. the first case was a 20-year-old female with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the second was a 26-year-old female with b-cell malignant ... | 2013 | 24237444 |

| invasive infections caused by saprochaete capitata in patients with haematological malignancies: report of five cases and review of the antifungal therapy. | saprochaete capitata (formerly known as geotrichum capitatum and blastoschizomyces capitatus) is a ubiquitous fungus found in soil, water, air, plants and dairy products. it colonizes the skin, and bronchial and intestinal tract of healthy people producing serious opportunistic infections in patients with haematological malignancies, especially in those with acute leukaemia. since 1960s its presence is being increasingly recognized in this group of patients. the clinical spectrum of s. capitata ... | 2013 | 23583265 |
| [multi-organ failure in a patient with fungaemia due to saprochaete capitata]. | the significant increase in systemic fungal infections is mainly due to the increase in immunocompromised patients. the high morbimortality of these infections, along with the high hospitalization costs they generate, makes them a problem of great importance in our hospital practice. saprochaete capitata is a rare fungus that causes invasive infections, usually in immunocompromised patients, and for which there is still no consensus on the treatment regimen to be used. | 2013 | 23318163 |

| geotrichum capitatum septicemia in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. report of three cases. | geotrichum capitatum infection is uncommon, and has been exclusively reported in immunocompromised patients. the prognosis is poor with a mortality rate ranging from 50 to 90%. we report 3 cases of geotrichum capitatum fungemia in neutropenic patients receiving chemotherapy for acute myeloblastic leukemia. the infection was successfully cured with voriconazole in 1 case and was fatal in the 2 remaining cases despite treatment with amphotericin b. | 2012 | 24371748 |
