Trichosporon inkin peritonitis treated with caspofungin.
Trichosporon inkin is one of six pathogenic species of the genus Trichosporon and the etiologic agent of pubic white piedra. Trichosporon species have been reported as a cause of disseminated infections, particularly among immunosuppressed patients. We describe the third reported case of T. inkin peritonitis associated with peritoneal dialysis and the first to be treated with caspofungin.
متن کاملMolecular identification and susceptibility testing of Trichosporon isolates from a Brazilian hospital.
In this study the molecular identification and susceptibility profile of 21 clinical isolates, from a Brazilian hospital, belongs to six different species of Trichosporon were described. Trichosporon asahii was the predominant species and corresponded to 43% of isolates. Eighty three percent of the strains isolated from deep sites were identified as T. asahii, while only 17% belong to a non-T. ...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of antifungal combinations against biofilms and planktonic forms of clinical Trichosporon asahii isolates.
Trichosporon species can cause biofilm-associated infections related to indwelling medical devices, especially intravenous catheters, and unacceptable mortality rates have been reported despite the administration of antifungal treatments (1). Trichosporon asahii can form biofilms with structured microbial communities in vitro, embedded within an extracellular matrix, with significantly increase...

متن کاملUrinary tract infection by Trichosporon asahii.
Trichosporon asahii is a basidiomycetous yeast which causes white piedra and onychomycosis in immunocompetent hosts as well as various localized and disseminated invasive infections in immunodeficient hosts. Urinary tract infection caused by Trichosporon asahii is rare. One month after posterior urethral valve surgery a seven-month-old male child presented with fever, severe vomiting and crying...
