Resumo
This is the first case reported of central venous catheter-related fungemia due to C. neoformans. A patient with chronic renal failure developed a fungemia during the treatment of a dialysis-associated bacteremia. Cryptococcus neoformans grew in the catheter tip and blood culture. We addressed questions about this catheter-related fungemia. © 2009 by The Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Contexto Publishing. All rights reserved.
