title: Sternal wound infection by Trichosporon inkin following cardiac surgery.
abstract: Wound infection following cardiac surgery is well described but is rarely due to fungal infection. We describe a case of sternal wound infection caused by Trichosporon inkin with a fatal outcome, in an immunocompetent patient following aortic root surgery.
