Abstract
A fatal case of Trichosporon inkin prosthetic endocarditis is reported. The isolation sites and susceptibility profiles of 10 other isolates are also reviewed. Four strains were recovered from cutaneous or subcutaneous samples, four were recovered from urine, one was recovered from peritoneal liquid, and one was recovered from bone. Voriconazole and amphotericin B had the most potent activities in vitro against the isolates, with MIC geometric means of 0.11 and 0.30 μg/ml, respectively.Keywords
