We aim to characterise those transformations on the set of density operators (which are the mathematical representatives of the states in quantum information theory) that preserve a so-called generalised entropy of one fixed convex combination of operators. The characterisation strengthens a recent result of Karder and Petek where the preservation of the same quantity was assumed for all convex combinations.
