A Case of Trichosporon beigelii Fungemia Treated with mphotericin B and Fluconazole in a Patient with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia
Trichosporon beigelii is a causative agent of white piedra, an superficial hair shaft infection in immunocompetent individuals, and rarely of disseminated trichosporonosis in immunocompromised patients especially in neutropenic patients with leukemia. Trichosporon infections in immunocompromised patients are frequently fatal despite therapy with amphotericin B. We describe an acute myelogenous leukemia patient with T. beigelii fungemia after remission induction chemotherapy who was successfully treated with amphotericin B and fluconazole.

Abstract
Trichosporon beigelii is a causative agent of white piedra, an superficial hair shaft infection in immunocompetent individuals, and rarely of disseminated trichosporonosis in immunocompromised patients especially in neutropenic patients with leukemia. Trichosporon infections in immunocompromised patients are frequently fatal despite therapy with amphotericin B. We describe an acute myelogenous leukemia patient with T. beigelii fungemia after remission induction chemotherapy who was successfully treated with amphotericin B and fluconazole.
