A case of disseminated Trichosporon beigelii infection is reported. Trichosporon inhabits the soil, but may also be present in the human skin and mouth as a normal flora. Occasionally it causes superficial mycotic infection, but it is rarely invasive. A review of literature disclosed 21 reported cases of invasive Trichosporon beigelii infection, to date. Of these, two cases were from Japan. The scarcity of reports on this invasive infection may be due to a lack of awareness of the organism. Histologically, it should be carefully differentiated from Candida.
报告了1例播散性白吉利丝孢酵母感染病例。白吉利丝孢酵母存在于土壤中，但也可能作为正常菌群存在于人体皮肤和口腔中。它偶尔会引起浅表真菌感染，但很少侵袭性感染。文献回顾显示，迄今为止，已报告21例侵袭性白吉利丝孢酵母感染病例。其中，2例来自日本。关于这种侵袭性感染的报告较少，可能是由于对该病原体认识不足。在组织学上，应仔细将其与念珠菌区分开来。
