Abstract:

Prototheca spp. are environmental algae that may cause serious infection in the immunocompromised patient. Clinical manifestations may mimic other diseases. We present a case of fatal infection in a 78-year-old cardiac transplant recipient and discuss pitfalls in the clinical and laboratory diagnoses. Copyright © 2011, American Society for Microbiology.
