Abstract
Trichosporon asahii is a yeast that may cause systemic infection, especially in neutropenic patients. To our knowledge, only two cases of invasive infection with Trichosporon were previously described in liver transplant recipients. We describe an additional case of T. asahii infection after orthotopic liver transplantation in a non-neutropenic patient who had no known risk factor for invasive fungal infection, and died in spite of amphotericin B therapy.
