Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Trichosporon colonizes the skin, vagina, gastrointestinal and respiratory tract of humans. Superficial infections are common, while disseminated trichosporonosis is rare, specifically seen among immunocompromised patients and often associated with high mortality. We report a rare case Trichosporon asahii infection in a 78-year-old diabetic, with associated acute interstitial glomerulonephritis. Molecular identification of the isolate was confirmed by sequencing IGS1 region of rDNA. Our study adds to a rather limited literature on renal complications of Trichosporonosis.
