The first Croatian pediatric patient with Geotrichum capitatum respiratory infection

Geotrichum capitatum can cause infections in humans and its importance has recently been recognized in patients with immunosuppressive conditions. In this report we present the first Croatian pediatric patient with pneumonia in whom G. capitatum was isolated in three sequential bronchoalveolar lavage and tracheal aspiration specimens.
Geotrichum capitatum može uzrokovati infekcije u ljudi i njegov značaj je nedavno prepoznat u imunosuprimiranih bolesnika. U ovom radu prikazujemo prvog hrvatskog pedijatrijskog bolesnika s pneumonijom u kojeg je G. capitatum izoliran u tri uzastopna bronhoalveolarna lavata i aspirata traheje.
