title: Cutaneous trichosporosis.
abstract: Of 269 patients with cutaneous trichosporosis a majority of 170 (63.2%) showed the infection as intertrigo in the genitocrural and perianal areas. The predominant symptoms were itching and burning. Trichosporosis has been found to be less common in the other sites. Trichosporosis due to Trichosporon beigelii should be kept in mind as one of the differential diagnosis in cases of genitocrural intertrigo and other cutaneous infections by fungi and bacteria in the tropics.
