Risk Factors,Diagnosis and Outcome of Proven and Probable Invasive Trichosporonosis in a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Cross-sectional Analytical Study [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic ResearchIntroduction: Trichosporon species are basidiomycetous yeast like fungus that is ubiquitous in the environment. They form part of the normal flora in humans. In recent years, they have been causing invasive infections, especially in the immunocompromised

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 ...

Identification of Trichosporon yeast isolates from superficial infections in male patients from Central Brazil: an approach to the diversity of infections caused by this basidiomycete fungus [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of BiologyThe genus Trichosporon are currently recognized as opportunistic pathogens capable of causing superficial "white piedra" infections and potentially fatal invasive diseases (Trichosporonosis). In this work, determine the agent Trichosporon spp.
