Trichosporon spp como agente causal de onicomicosis
The incidence of Trichosporon spp. yeast isolates from clinical samples tested in the Mycology Laboratory at the Institute of Biomedicine over a period of 10 years (2000-2010) was evaluated. There were a total of 14 cases, representing an incidence of 0.13%; the cases showed 71% positivity on direct examination. 57% of the cases were in nails of the hand and foot. In contrast to cases reported for Candida, toenails were the most affected (50%) by Trichosporon spp. in this study.
