Resumo
We report a case of bloodstream infection caused by R. hoagii in a woman with acute myeloid leukemia, 37-years-old, who received an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. She developed cutaneous and gastrointestinal tract graft versus host disease, respectively on day 29 and day 69. On day 157 she developed to acute severe respiratory failure. Rhodococcus sp was identified by MALDI-TOF and 16S rRNA sequencing from blood culture as Rhodococcus hoagii. The patient was a nurse that lived in urban areas, and stated no recent trips to countryside areas neither contacted with animals. Despite of the treatment with antibiotics with action against R. hoagii such as linezolid and meropenem the patient evolved to multiorgan dysfunction and death. Our case-report emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and the use of 16S rRNA sequencing to confirmed the identification of species of Rhodococcus infection. (c) 2020 The Authors.
