Methaemoglobinaemia with concurrent blood isolation of Saccharomyces and Candida

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Fungemia: An Emerging Infectious Disease

“…Underlying conditions include cancer [17,19], HIV infection [16,40,46], use of corticosteroids [31,78], neutropenia [19,20,29,35], bone marrow transplantation [22,27,52], solid organ transplantation [46], burns [14,25], and heart surgery [10,26,35,38,[43][44][45]. Critically ill neonates seem to be particularly predisposed to fungemia [20,32,33,35,36,42,43,47].…”

Invasive Infections Associated with the Use of Probiotics in Children: A Systematic Review

“…Probiotics were administered as enteral supplementation in all cases: orally or via a nasogastric tube or through gastrostomy, according to patients' clinical conditions. In most reports, the etiological agents were identified both by blood cultures and strain-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (61%) [27][28][29][30][31][32][33]35,42,[50][51][52][53][54]56,58,59,62]; in 17 cases (34%), causative microorganisms were isolated from cultures [27,[37][38][39][40][41][43][44][45]48,55,57,60,61], and in 3 of these (6%), the causative microorganisms were isolated both from blood culture and from central venous catheter (CVC) tip culture [46,47,49]. The pathogen was isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) culture in the patient with pneumonia and confirmed with PCR analysis [36].…”

Catheter-related Saccharomyces cerevisiae Fungemia Following Saccharomyces boulardii Probiotic Treatment: In a child in intensive care unit and review of the literature

“…In our knowledge, there is not any literature review to identify previously reported pediatric cases of S. cerevisiae. We searched for “ S. cerevisiae ” and “fungemia” in the Pubmed database and found 15 suitable pediatric cases of S. cerevisiae fungemia [ [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] ]. Adult (>18 years) cases and cases with insufficient clinical information were excluded from this review.…”
