What is Cutaneous Trichosporonosis: Review of an Emerging Disease about?
Purpose of the Review The purpose of this text is to discuss the risk factors, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic, and therapeutic approaches for superficial, invasive, and disseminated trichosporonosis. Recent Findings Trichosporon infection is now the second most common yeast opportunistic infection in patients with immunosuppression. Plus, there is cumulative evidence that the pathogen can live as a commensal in the skin and cause disease in immunocompetent individuals. Summary Superficial trichosporonosis has generally a favorable prognosis. Deep-seated infections often culminate in death, mainly due to the associated immunosuppressive conditions of the host and the antifungal resistance mechanisms of the pathogen. Further research is required to investigate the transmissibility of different species in mild versus severe disease forms.
