  • Title: [Trichosporonosis].
    Author: Tokimatsu I.
    Journal: Nihon Rinsho; 2008 Dec; 66(12):2362-6. PubMed ID: 19069106.
    Abstract:
    Trichosporonosis is rare but have been associated with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestation, ranging from superficial infection to severe deep-seated mycosis. Deep-seated trichosporonosis is a lethal opportunistic infection occasionally found in immunocompromised patients, particularly those who are neutropenic due to hematological diseases or cytotoxic therapy. Trichosporon asahii is considered the principal etiologic agent of non-Candida fungemia and disseminated trichosporonosis in Japan. It is necessary for a clinician to pay enough care as the lethal infections in immunocompromised host. Diabetic patients are also predisposed of trichosporonosis because of the impaired leukocyte function. I review the literature about trichosporonosis with the patients of diabetes mellitus.
