Abstract
Summary. Six human pathogenic Trichosporon species are described with respect to criteria for routine identification, epidemiology and clinical origin: T. ovoides, T. inkin, T. asahii, T. asteroides (Fissuricella filamenta), T. cutaneum, and T. mucoides. These species are causative agents of white piedra and cutaneous infections and are involved in systemic, localized or disseminated mycoses, particularly in patients with underlying haematological malignancy. Data on in vitro sensitivity to antifungal drugs are provided.Zusammenfassung. Sechs humanpathogene Trichosporon‐Arten werden anhand von routinediagnostischen Merkmalen, der Epidemiologic sowie ihrer klinischen Herkunft beschrieben: T. ovoides, T. inkin, T. asahii, T. asteroides (Fissuricella filamenta), T. cutaneum und T. mucoides. Es handelt sich um Erreger der weißen Piedra und von Hautinfektionen sowie lokalisierter oder disseminierter tiefer Mykosen, insbesondere bei Patienten mit malignen hämatologischen Erkrankungen. Ferner werden Ergebnisse über in votro‐Empfindlichkeiten gegenüber Antimykotika mitgeteilt.Keywords
