Abstract

Abstract: 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. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
