Abstract

Rhodotorula genus contains 37 species, only three species have been caused human infections. These threespecies are R. glutinis, R. minuta and R. mucilaginosa. Infection with Rhodotorula is much less commonthan other yeast causes. Nevertheless, the number of infections has clearly increased during the last fewyears. The objective was to occur of Rodotorula mucilaginosa Among Immunocompromised Patients withDifferent InfectionsOne hundred five specimens were collected from immunocompromised patients with (Oculomycosis,Onychomycosis and Otomycosis) who attended Baquba teaching hospital for a period of 14 months.The yeast cultures were monitored using Sabouraud´s dextrose agar (SDA) and identified depended onmacroscopic and microscopic examinations.Cultured Colonies of R. mucilaginosa on Sabouraud´s dextrose agar showed orange to pink in color andare smooth to mucoid colonies. The percentage of R. mucilaginosa was 19.3% (92 out of 150) specimens.According to the findings, it can be concluded that males are most suffering from Rodotorula mucilaginosainfection among Oculomycosis and onychomycosis. Also, it is more prevalent in age group (41-60) years.
