Infección por Rhodotorula mucilaginosa en trasplante alogénico de progenitores hematopoyéticos, reporte de un caso.

Infection by Rhodotorula spp. is recognized as an emerging infection in the last two decades especially in immunocompromissed patients. This yeast has been described as not very virulent although it can produce uncomplicated systemic infection in blood or even potentially fatal infections such as endocarditis or ventriculitis. Its isolation is associated with central venous catheters. There are only a few cases reported in recipients of hematopoietic transplantation.
