title: [Disseminated Trichosporon asahii infection].
abstract: The present report describes a case of disseminated Trichosporon asahii infection. Trichosporon species has emerged as opportunistic infectious yeast in immunocompromised patients and is resistant to echinocandins. These antifungal drugs are not recommended for trichosporonosis treatment and yeast species identification be attempted for all clinical isolates, particularly with respect to the choice of antifungal therapy for specific Trichosporon species.
