Abstract
Trichosporon is a basidiomycete yeast of tropical origin that is also opportunistic in the immunocompromised. It is characterized by irregular nodules attached to the hair called white piedra. Trichosporon spp has been reported as the 2 nd most common agent of disseminated, potentially fatal fungemia [1]. Nevertheless, no pure cutaneous manifestation had been reported. We report a single case of Trichosporon spp causing an umbilical papulonodular rash in a newly diagnosed HIV-positive subject.
