Abstract：
The opportunistic fungus Malassezia furfur (M. furfur) can cause either cutaneous or systemic infections. We report a case of M. furfur fungemia in a 22-year-old male with T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL) who developed concomitant Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) septicemia. The fungal infection was diagnosed by microscopic examination and culture-based methods, while automated blood culture systems and molecular approaches failed in identifying the fungus. Despite appropriate therapy, the patient died 18 days after the hospitalization.
