A case of cutaneous Rhodotorula infection mimicking cryptococcosis

Summary Rhodotorula is a ubiquitous environmental and commensal yeast, and an emerging opportunistic pathogen, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Clinical infections with Rhodotorula have been increasingly recognized over the past 30 years; however, infections in solid‐organ transplant recipients are uncommon, and cutaneous manifestations have rarely been reported. We describe a 59‐year‐old male renal transplant recipient, who developed cutaneous infection with Rhodotorula upon failure of his graft and commencement of haemodialysis.
