Current Knowledge of Trichosporon spp. and Trichosporonosis [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2011
SUMMARYTrichosporonspp. are basidiomycetous yeast-like fungi found widely in nature. Clinical isolates are generally related to superficial infections. However, this fungus has been recognized as an opportunistic agent of invasive infections, mostly in cancer patients and those exposed to invasive medical procedures.

Trichosporon isolation from human ungueal infections: is there a pathogenic role? [PDF]

Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2016
BACKGROUND: Although dermatophytes are considered the major cause of onychomycosis, many reports have incriminated non-dermatophyte moulds and yeasts in the disease’s etiology.

Disseminated Trichosporon asahii infection in a combined liver‐kidney transplant recipient successfully treated with voriconazole

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.

Hyphal Growth in Trichosporon asahii Is Accelerated by the Addition of Magnesium

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Fungal dimorphism involves two morphologies: a unicellular yeast cell and a multicellular hyphal form. Invasion of hyphae into human cells causes severe opportunistic infections.

PS1275 INVASIVE ASPERGILLOSIS CAUSED BY ”RARE“ PATHOGENS: CLINICAL REGISTRY DATA ANALYSIS

HemaSphere, Volume 3, Issue S1, Page 583-584, June 2019., 2019
Background: Publications describing invasive aspergillosis (IA) caused by “rare” pathogens are limited. Species identification of the pathogen is necessary for the selection of antifungal therapy, as some Aspergillus spp. may be resistant to antifungal drugs.

Trichosporonosis in Patients with Neoplastic Disease

Medicine, 1986
Trichosporonosis due to Trichosporon beigelii or T. capitatum is an infrequent but potentially fatal invasive fungal infection in cancer patients. We studied epidemiologic, clinical, pathologic, and microbiologic features of this infection during a 7-year period at the University of Maryland Cancer Center.

PS1276 EPIDEMIOLOGY AND CLINICAL OUTCOME OF FUNGAL INFECTIONS OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM IN ALLOGENEIC STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION RECIPIENTS

HemaSphere, Volume 3, Issue S1, Page 584, June 2019., 2019
Background: Invasive Fungal Infections of the Central Nervous System (IFI‐CNS) are very rare and life threatening complications and no specific epidemiologic data are available in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (Allo‐HSCT) recipients. Aims: We describe the incidence, clinical characteristics and outcome of IFI‐CNS detected, over a 7
