Objectives: Geotrichum spp can be responsible for severe infections in immunocompromised patients. We aim to describe Geotrichum-related infections in the ICU and to assess risk factors of mortality.
Methods: Retrospective multicentre study, conducted in 14 French ICUs between 2002 and 2018, including critically ill adult patients with proven or probable infection related to Geotrichum species.
Fungi are a versatile group of microorganisms that exist in three morphological forms, which include the yeasts (oval/spherical budding cells), true fungi (produce long filamentous, branching structures called as hyphae/mycelia), and dimorphic fungi (show both yeast at 37C and hyphal forms at room temperature).
