Descreve-se aqui o caso de infecção fúngica mista por leveduras em paciente de UTI: por Saccharomyces cerevisae - levedura conhecida e de larga utilização na panificação e produção de vinhos - e Candida albicans. As infecções fúngicas mistas possuem alta mortalidade em terapia intensiva. Discutimos neste artigo o caso de paciente idoso portador de doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica, portador de tumor não tratado de bexiga, tabagista, admitido no Hospital com quadro diarréico, evoluindo para choque séptico, com isolamento em hemoculturas das duas leveduras supracitadas. Quadro grave, de evolução letal, possibilitando a discussão de um dos germes emergentes em unidade de terapia intensiva e apresentação atípica em terapia intensiva.
A case of a mixed fungal yeast infection involving Saccharomyces cerevisiae - well known for its use in the bread and wine industries - and Candida albicans, is described in an intensive care unit patient. Mortality due to mixed fungal infections in the intensive care unit is high. An elderly smoker patient with chronic pulmonary obstructive disease and untreated bladder neoplasm was admitted to the hospital with diarrhea and progressed to septic shock. The above-mentioned yeasts were identified in blood cultures. This case with fatal outcome provides an opportunity to discuss one of the emergent germs found in the intensive care unit, in a case with an atypical presentation.
