Pleural empyema due to Rhodotorula mucilaginosa: A rare yet severe complication of a previously undiagnosed cancer patient

Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (R. mucilaginosa) has been increasingly recognized as an emerging opportunistic pathogen causing invasive fungal infection, mainly in immunosuppressed patients. We report the case of a previously undiagnosed lung cancer patient with a pleural empyema due to R. mucilaginosa.
