<i>Saprochete capitata</i>: Emerging Infections from Uncommon Microorganisms in Hematological Diseases
Abstrak
Infections occurring in immunocompromised patients after intensive chemotherapy are often difficult to eradicate and are capable of even being fatal. New emergent and dangerous drug-resistant micro-organisms are likely to appear in these specific scenarios. Clinical features mainly include progressive pneumonia, bacteriemia/fungemia, or extrapulmonary dissemination among infections. The treatment of these microorganisms is still an open challenge since there is a lack of clear treatment guidelines. Indeed, infections from these microorganisms can lead to a rapidly fatal clinical course in immunocompromised patients, especially those who have acute leukemia. We describe the case of a young patient with acute myeloid leukemia who contracted an infection from <i>Saprochaete capitata</i> during post-chemotherapy aplasia.
