Geotrichum is a species of fungi that can be found in every
environment in nature, in soil, in water and in air. As it can be found in
plants and in cereals and milk products, it has also been shown to be found in
normal human flora (mucus and faeces). Geotrichum candidum, mostly
saprophytic, can cause clinical picture called Geotrichosis. Neoplasms,
leukosis, HIV infection, diabetes mellitus, and kidney transplantation are
generally the underlying diseases in such cases. In a case in which we detected
G.candidum reproduction in urinary tract infection, we aimed to
present the case with its clinic findings and to review the literature.
