Saccharomyces boulardii fungaemia in an intensive care unit patient treated with caspofungin

We describe a case of Saccharomyces boulardii fugaemia in a critically ill patient with septic shock treated with a probiotic agent containing this yeast. We attributed this fugaemia to gut translocation. Our use of caspofugin yielded excellent results.
