    Abstract:
    A 70-year-old woman with liver cirrhosis caused by primary biliary cirrhosis and rheumatoid arthritis was found to have multiple pulmonary nodular shadows in the right middle and lower lung fields on chest radiography. The multiple pulmonary nodules and masses rapidly increased over 2 months. Trichosporon mycotoxinivorans and Cryptococcus neoformans were identified in brushing specimens, bronchial lavage, and transbronchial lung biopsy specimens. The patient was diagnosed as having a co-infection of the lung with T. mycotoxinivorans and C. neoformans, and was treated with fluconazole. Although the pulmonary shadows were under control with treatment, she died 5 months later due to liver failure. We report herein a rare case of co-infection of the lung with T. mycotoxinivorans and C. neoformans.
