Onychomycosis by Trichosporon Inkin: A Rare Clinical Entity [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018
Trichosporon species are basidiomycetous yeasts that are widely distributed in the nature and regularly found on normal skin. The cylinder-shaped arthroconidia forming yeast has undergone a major taxonomic reclassification with Trichosporon inkin ...

Sternal Wound Infection by Trichosporon inkin following Cardiac Surgery [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2006
ABSTRACTWound infection following cardiac surgery is well described but is rarely due to fungal infection. We describe a case of sternal wound infection caused byTrichosporon inkinwith a fatal outcome, in an immunocompetent patient following aortic root surgery.

Analyses of hyphal diversity in Trichosporonales yeasts based on fluorescent microscopic observations [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
In dimorphic yeasts, hyphal growth is primarily associated with infection and mycosis progression, with Trichosporon asahii causing deep-seated mycosis and summer-type hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Magnesium accelerates hyphal growth in T.

<i>Candida blankii</i>: The Difficult Capture of a Fungus With Pathogenic Potential. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Candida blankii has recently emerged as a pathogen of clinical significance, particularly in cases of candidemia. Here, we present two cases involving adult patients with complex medical histories. In one case, C. blankii was considered clinically significant, while in the other, it was regarded as a colonizer.

Onycholysis and Chromonychia: A Case Caused by Trichosporon inkin. [PDF]

Skin Appendage Disord, 2016
Yeasts cause only 5-10% of onychomycosis; the most common yeast is Candida albicans, and rarely Trichosporon spp. is found. Recently, it has become an important cause of fungemia with a high mortality rate in immunocompromised patients. Superficial infections caused by Trichosporon spp., including piedra and onychomycosis, occur in immunocompetent ...
