Trichosporon inkinas an Emergent Pathogen in Patients With Severe Pemphigus [PDF]
To our knowledge, these are the first reports of bloodstream infections by Trichosporon inkin in patients with pemphigus.Trichosporon inkin, a novel organism causing bloodstream infection, was detected in 2 patients with pemphigus. An elderly man with pemphigus foliaceus died despite treatment with liposomal amphotericin B, 3 mg/kg/d, and a young girl ...

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.

Rapid and Simple Detection of Trichosporon asahii by Optimized Colony PCR
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 ...

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
