We report the case of a 65-year old male who developed Saccharomyces cerevisiae fungemia after completing a course of chemotherapy and radiation therapy for head and neck carcinoma. He had grade IV oral mucositis, and received Saccharomyces boulardii (Perenterol®) orally as treatment for aseptic diarrhoea just before the onset of fungemia. We discuss the epidemiology and pathology of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the cancer patient population.Nous décrivons le cas d’un patient masculin atteint d’un cancer de la sphère tête et cou qui a développé après la fin de son traitement de radio-chimiothérapie une levurémie à saccharomyces cerevisiae. Il souffrait d’une mucite orale de grade IV et a reçu juste avant l’apparition de la levurémie du saccharomyces boulardii (Perenterol®) pour le traitement d’une diarrhée aseptique. Nous discutons l’épidémiologie et la pathogénie du Saccharomyces cerevisiae chez les patients cancéreux.
