Fungi of the genus Trichosporon isolated from the skin in hospitalized patients
Acta Mycologica, 2013 Fungi of the genus Trichosporon are widespread in the biosphere and are a frequent component of the skin mycobiota. They are opportunistic organisms that adopt a commensal lifestyle on the skin in healthy humans but can cause pathological changes ...

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 125-129, September 2019., 2019 Trichosporon asahii is an emerging cause of systemic fungal infection in an immunocompromised host. There are several reports of life threatening disseminated T. asahii infection in a single solid organ (liver or kidney) transplant recipient, in neutropenic and hematological malignancy patients. This is the first case report of disseminated T.

Trichosporon inkin subcutaneous infection in a rheumatoid arthritis patient
International Journal of Dermatology, 2007 A 74‐year‐old woman presented with painful ulcerative nodules on the left forearm. She had received systemic steroid therapy for rheumatoid arthritis for several years. On physical examination, there were four hemorrhagic ulcerative nodules with a linear distribution on the left forearm (Fig. 1A). These nodules had developed over the course of 2 months,

Rapid and Simple Detection of Trichosporon asahii by Optimized Colony PCR
BioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Trichosporon asahii is the major pathogen causing invasive trichosporonosis. Conventional methods of its detection are time‐consuming or costly and often require complex DNA extraction and purification steps, which hinders rapid clinical diagnosis. In this study, we evaluated colony PCR, which directly uses colonies or trace clinical samples as the ...

BioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Nosocomial infections, in lay term known as hospital acquired infections, are caused mainly by airborne pathogens found in healthcare facilities and their surroundings. The aim of this study was to quantify and identify bacteria and fungi in a hospital, which is an understudied area of air quality in Sri Lanka. Air samples were collected in agar medium

Clinical case of endocarditis due to Trichosporon inkin and antifungal susceptibility profile of the organism. [PDF]
J Clin Microbiol, 2004 ABSTRACTA fatal case ofTrichosporon inkinprosthetic endocarditis is reported. The isolation sites and susceptibility profiles of 10 other isolates are also reviewed. Four strains were recovered from cutaneous or subcutaneous samples, four were recovered from urine, one was recovered from peritoneal liquid, and one was recovered from bone.

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Invasive trichosporonosis is a deep mycosis found mainly in immunocompromised hosts, and the major pathogen is Trichosporon asahii. We detected the species‐specific intergenic spacers (IGS) of rRNA gene of T. asahii using a loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay in 15 isolates with 3 different visualization methods, including SYBR green ...

Journal of Pathogens, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Candida spp. have emerged as successful pathogens in both invasive and mucosal infections. Varied virulence factors and growing resistance to antifungal agents have contributed to their pathogenicity. We studied diagnostic accuracy of HiCrome Candida Differential Agar and Vitek 2 Compact system for identification of Candida spp.
