Pathogenicity of Trichosporon asahii in a murine model of disseminated trichosporonosis

Chinese Medical Journal, 2008
In recent years, superficial and deep mycoses caused by trichosporon were occasionally reported. In 2001, we reported the first case of disseminated trichosporonosis caused by Trichosporon asahii (T. asahii) in China. In this study, the pathogenicity of T. asahii was investigated in a murine model of disseminated trichosporonosis.Seventy-five mice were
