Deep-seated trichosporonosis in an immunocompetent patient: a case report of uterine trichosporonosis.
We report an unusual case of endometritis caused by Trichosporon beigelii in an elderly woman who had no clinically obvious immunosuppression nor even clinically obvious skin disease. No evidence of predisposing factors for deep trichosporonosis was identified in this patient, who apparently is of normal immune status.
