Trichosporon asahii is an opportunistic pathogenic yeast-like fungus that colonises the human gastrointestinal tract, respiratory mucosa and skin. 1 T. asahii can cause local infection and systemic disseminated infection. Although immunocompetent individuals can have trichosporemia, 2 invasive trichosporidiosis often occurs in immunocompromised patients with conditions such as severe neutropenia, organ transplantation, malignant tumours, AIDS and other conditions. The mortality of invasive trichosporidiosis can reach 80%. 3 Trichosporonosis treatment is mainly based on antifungal agents, but it exhibits limited sensitivity to antifungal agents apart from azoles. 4
