Prototheca wickerhamii mimicking yeast: a cautionary tale.

B McMullan1, K Muthiah, D Stark, L Lee, D Marriott.   

Abstract

Prototheca spp. are environmental algae that may cause serious infection in the immunocompromised patient. Clinical manifestations may mimic other diseases. We present a case of fatal infection in a 78-year-old cardiac transplant recipient and discuss pitfalls in the clinical and laboratory diagnoses.
