Emergent fungal infections are uncommon conditions which frequently lead to death. To our knowledge, only a few cases of invasive infection by Cystobasidium minutum (previously known as Rhodotorula minuta) have been reported. Moreover, several factors are responsible for deep site infections, such as catheter-related fungemia. This report describes the first case report of Cystobasidium minutum causing fungemia in Brazil. The pathogens fungemia was demonstrated by catheter and blood culture-proven, and both yeasts were identified by sequences of D1/D2 rDNA region. After the end of antifungal therapy and catheter removal, a second blood culture was found to be negative and the clinical signs and symptoms of the patient improved.
