Abstract

Trichosporon asahii and Geotrichum capitatum are rare opportunistic f ungal pathogens particularly in seriously immu- nosuppressed patients, such as bone marrow transplant recipients. Neutropenia related with hematological malignancy is the primary predisposing risk f actor f or disseminated cases of these f ungal inf ections. Here, one non-neutropenic patient with urinary tract inf ection caused by T.asahii and other non-neutropenic patient with f ungemia associated with urinary tract inf ection caused by G.capitatum have been reported.

Özet

Trichosporon asahii ve Geotrichum capitatum özellikle kemik iliği transplant hastaları gibi ciddi immün supresyonu olan kişilerde daha sık olmak üzere, insanlarda nadiren inf eksiyona yol açan f ırsatçı mantarlardır. Hematolojik malignitelere bağlı gelişen nötropeni, sistemik inf eksiyon için başta gelen risk f aktörüdür. Burada nötropenisi olmayan bir hastada T.asahii’nin etken olduğu üriner sistem inf eksiyonu ve nötropenisi olmayan diğer bir hastada G.capitatum’un etken olduğu f ungemi ile seyreden üriner sistem inf eksiyonu bildirilmiştir.
