Asymptomatic Fungemia Due to Rhodotorula spp. Caused by a Subcutaneously Implanted Central Venous Port Catheter

A 66-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for gastrointestinal perforation. He had a history of surgery and chemotherapy for colorectal cancer and had a subcutaneously implanted central venous port catheter. After surgery for gastrointestinal tract perforation, he developed an intra-abdominal a...

description A 66-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for gastrointestinal perforation. He had a history of surgery and chemotherapy for colorectal cancer and had a subcutaneously implanted central venous port catheter. After surgery for gastrointestinal tract perforation, he developed an intra-abdominal abscess, which was treated with broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents and improved. Following this improvement, Rhodotorula spp. was detected in a blood culture and at the catheter tip. He was asymptomatic despite having fungemia. His condition improved after the removal of the catheter and the administration of antifungal drugs. Fungemia due to Rhodotorula spp. is rare, and asymptomatic fungemia is even rarer.
