Two hundred and eight isolates of Trichosporon beigelii were identified over the period January 1973 to July 1983. 45.7% of these were from skin, 25.0% from nail, 22.6% from tissues and fluids, 3.4% from hair and 3.4% from sputum. Tr. beigelii was isolated in association with a recognized pathogen in 23 cases, 9 with a yeast, 14 with a dermatophyte. In 38 cases, Tr. beigelii was the only organism isolated when direct microscopic examination of clinical material showed the presence of hyphae and/or yeast cells. Although Tr. beigelii could only be assigned a definite pathogenic role in 6 cases of genital white piedra, and in one case of peritonitis associated with chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, we believe that this organism was pathogenic in many cases of skin infection. In most of the cases where it was isolated from tissue or fluids at Royal North Shore Hospital, Tr. beigelii was not considered to be significantly contributing to the disease process.
1973年1月至1983年7月期间，共鉴定出208株白吉利丝孢酵母。其中45.7%分离自皮肤，25.0%分离自指甲，22.6%分离自组织和体液，3.4%分离自毛发，3.4%分离自痰液。在23例病例中，白吉利丝孢酵母与一种已知病原体共同分离得到，其中9例与酵母菌共同分离，14例与皮肤癣菌共同分离。在38例病例中，当临床材料的直接显微镜检查显示存在菌丝和/或酵母细胞时，白吉利丝孢酵母是唯一分离出的微生物。尽管白吉利丝孢酵母仅在6例生殖器白毛结节病和1例与慢性非卧床腹膜透析相关的腹膜炎病例中被明确认定具有致病作用，但我们认为该微生物在许多皮肤感染病例中具有致病性。在皇家北岸医院从组织或体液中分离出该菌的大多数病例中，白吉利丝孢酵母被认为对疾病进程没有显著影响。
