ABSTRACT
Invasive diseases caused by Trichosporon beigelii are rare, usually fatal, opportunistic infections that occur exclusively in immunocompromised patients. This fungus has been known to produce cutaneous involvement in immunocompetent hosts, and is rarely reported to cause systemic disease in patients with cardiac valve replacement. In this report, we described a case of invasive Trichosporon beigelii pneumonia in a 9-year-old boy who presented with persistent cough and dyspnea for 1 week. He showed no abnormality in immunologic function tests and had no predisposing factors. Trichosporon beigelii was isolated from the bronchoalveolar lavage culture.
