Trichosporon asahii (formerly Trichosporon beigelii) is an emerging fungal pathogen seen particularly in immunologically compromised patients. There are now approximately 100 reported cases of hematogenously disseminated infections with this life-threatening yeast, and no effective antifungal therapy is available. The present case is unusual because the patient did not have neutropenia or evidence of a malignancy.
白吉利毛孢子菌(以前称为贝氏毛孢子菌)是一种新出现的真菌病原体,尤其在免疫功能低下的患者中可见。目前已有约100例关于这种危及生命的酵母菌经血行播散感染的报道,且尚无有效的抗真菌治疗方法。本病例不同寻常,因为该患者没有中性粒细胞减少症或恶性肿瘤的证据。
