“…Most of the reported clinical cases have occurred in immunosuppressed patients or immunosuppressive disorders, and have affected the respiratory tract (bronchi and lungs); superficial skin infections and, recently, invasive infections have also been reported (7)(8)(9). In earlier reports we described cases of oral geotrichosis associated with diabetes mellitus (4,10).…”

Oral geotrichosis is an uncommonopportunistic infection caused by Geotrichum candidum, a habitual contaminant and component of the flora of various parts of the body. This communication reports both a 20-year retrospective study of clinically and mycologically proven cases of oral geotrichosis, and a prospective study of fungal oral flora in 200 individuals divided into two groups: normal individuals and individuals with associated conditions. Twelve patients with proven oral geotrichosis were included: 9 females and 3 males, with a mean age of 48.5 years; the associated conditions were diabetes mellitus (66.6%), leukemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma and HIV/AIDS infection. The oral geotrichoses showed three clinical varieties: pseudomembranous (75%), hyperplastic, and palatine ulcer. G. candidum was isolated in 11 cases and G. capitatum in one. Positive fungal cultures were obtained from the two groups, and 48% and 78% of cultures were positive, respectively, for Candida spp. In 2.8% and 6.33% of the cases, G. candidum was isolated, respectively, together with one strain of G. capitatum. Oral geotrichosis is an exceptional infection that clinically presents, and is treated, as oral candidiasis. G. candidum may be isolated from the oral flora of a small proportion of patients, either normal individuals or those with associated conditions. (J Oral Sci 52, 477-483, 2010)

“…Recientemente se ha reportado su presencia en lavavajillas 13 . El primer caso de micosis invasora por S. capitata publicado data de 1960 y revisiones de la literatura han identificado 104 casos reportados entre 1977 y 2013 1,10 . De acuerdo a la información obtenida, la patología más frecuentemente asociada (52%) es la LMA, seguida de la leucemia linfoide aguda (22%) y otras patologías hematológicas malignas (13%) 10 .…”

“…Además, en 82% de los casos el paciente se encuentra neutropénico 10 . Fuera del contexto de pacientes neutropénicos, se han reportado tres casos de infección diseminada asociados a abuso de drogas endovenosas 1 . El espectro clínico de la infección diseminada por S. capitata es muy similar al provocado por otras levaduras, como Candida o Trichosporon; es frecuente observar fiebre refractaria a tratamiento antibiótico durante el período de neutropenia profunda.…”

“…S aprochaete capitata es una levadura cuya capacidad para producir infecciones oportunistas en pacientes inmunocomprometidos ha sido reportada de forma anecdótica desde la década del 60 1 . Se observa con mayor frecuencia en pacientes con neoplasias hematológicas, principalmente leucemia mieloide aguda (LMA), y se asocia en particular presencia de neutropenia [2][3][4] .…”

“…A family endemic of five cases of pulmonary geotrichosis has been described from Norway (THJbTTA & UR-DAL 1949). Some cases of Geotrichum septicaemia have also been published (WEBSTER 1959, CHANG & BUERGER 1964, SYMMER 1966. Reports of geotrichosis in animals are fewer in number than those of human cases (SCHIEFER & GEDEK 1969).…”

Abstract. -Geotrichum candidum is a yeast-like filamentous fungus common in nature, which occasionally causes geotrichosis especially in the bronchopulmonary area.The basic material of this study consisted of fungal cultures on many different culture media, of 6801 morning sputa and 1289 other bronchopulmonary specimens from patients chiefly with pulmonary disease. For purpose of comparison fungal cultures were additionally made of 1495 upper respiratory tract and 1711 faeces and gastric juice samples. The mean incidences of occurrence of Geotrichum candid urn were 0.5 % in bronchial secretion, 1.8 % in morning sputum, 2.5 % in the upper respiratory tract, 2.6 % in gastric juice and 13 .2 % in faeces.
