Trichosporon inkin causing invasive infection with multiple skin abscesses in a renal transplant patient successfully treated with voriconazole

INTRODUCTION Trichosporon species are basidiomycetous yeastlike anamorphic organisms that are widely distributed in nature and found predominantly in tropical and temperate areas. In humans, this fungal species is occasionally part of the commensal flora of skin and mucosa, and can be responsible for superficial skin and hair infections (white piedra) or, more rarely, invasive infections in immunocompromised hosts. Cutaneous lesions are commonly described in disseminated trichosporonosis. We report the first, to the best of our knowledge, case of Trichosporon inkin invasive disseminated infection in a renal transplant recipient who presented with multiple subcutaneous abscesses successfully treated with voriconazole.
