Abstract
- Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an emerging pathogen within the immunocompromised. We present a 4-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia presenting with polymerase chain reaction-confirmed hepatosplenic S. cerevisiae infection and significant immune reconstitution symptoms. We explore the challenges of monitoring treatment efficacy using C-Reactive protein, β-D-glucan, and imaging and the administration of chemotherapy alongside antifungals and steroids for control of immune reconstitution syndrome.
