Abstract
Trichosporon fungemia is a life-threatening opportunistic infection that is increasing in frequency. Invasive disease occurs almost exclusively in immunocompromised hosts, particularly in neutropenic adults with hematological malignancies and uncommonly in children. We report the case of a pediatric patient where disseminated trichosporonosis progressed while on micafungin, between treatments with voriconazole and amphotericin B, demonstrating the difficulty with and importance of prolonged and continuous treatment.
