Abstract:
A 74 year's old patient with cancer of oesophagus has been operated. An atelectasis occurred just after surgery, then a septic shock with a septicaemia. Blood cultures were positive with Torulopsis glabrata. Amphotericin B and flucytosine, followed by flucytosine and miconazole cured septicaemia. These septicaemia happen often to diabetics patients, to patients with malignant tumours, or after wide spectrum antibiotics or during prolonged parenteral nutrition or after surgery.
