متن کاملTrichosporon fungemia in a pediatric patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Trichosporon fungemia is a life-threatening opportunistic infection that is increasing in frequency. Invasive disease occurs almost exclusively in immunocompromised hosts, particularly in neutropenic adults with hematological malignancies and uncommonly in children. We report the case of a pediatric patient where disseminated trichosporonosis progressed while on micafungin, between treatments w...
متن کاملUtility of Miconazole Therapy for Trichosporon Fungemia in Patients with Acute Leukemia
Invasive trichosporonosis is an extremely rare mycosis, but Trichosporon fungemia (TF) in patients with hematologic malignancies has been increasingly recognized to be a fulminant and highly lethal infection. Although the utility of azole therapy has been demonstrated in several observations, little is known about the efficacy of one of azoles, miconazole (MCZ). To assess its therapeutic role, ...

We encountered a case of a 73-year-old man with acute myeloid leukemia who developed Trichosporon asahii systemic infection while on itraconazole prophylaxis during severe neutropenia. Cryptococcal antigen was useful for diagnosis. Although itraconazole was ineffective in protecting against trichosporonosis, treatment was successful with voriconazole following liposomal amphotericin B.
