Summary : We reported here a case of fungemia, which was diagnosed by a globular numeration: peripheral blood smears showed yeast cells, especially in the cytoplasm of neutrophils, with characteristic images of fungal phagocytosis. This test induced a prompt diagnosis of fungal septicaemia and the prescription of adapted treatment, which probably permitted to rescue the patient from a high mortality pathology. |
