Abstract
We are reporting the case of an 82-year-old Yemeni patient, renal transplant recipient who was admitted to our institution and who subsequently developed disseminated infection with Saprochaete capitata. This pathogenic fungus is rarely reported in patients with solid organ trans-plants. Saprochaete capitata is an emerging fungal pathogen, ubiquitously spread in the environment. This is the second case to our knowledge of infection with Saprochaete capitata in a renal transplant patient. Our patient was treated for multiple nosocomial infections with prolonged antibiotic courses. He succumbed to the infection with Saprochaete capitate after several weeks spent in the intensive care unit.Entities:
