AI Article Synopsis
- Non-Candida yeast infections, particularly Trichosporon, are gaining attention in immunocompromised patients.
- A rare case of Trichosporon asahii caused an oral lesion in a patient suffering from squamous cell carcinoma.
- This case emphasizes the need to consider unusual fungal infections like trichosporonosis in cancer patients to avoid misdiagnosis.
Article Abstract
The emergence of non-Candida yeast infections in humans has been increasingly recognized over the last decades. Trichosporon is the third most isolated non-candidal yeast in patients with an impaired immune system. We report a rare case of Trichosporon asahii causing erythematous oral lesion in a patient with squamous cell carcinoma. Our case highlights the occurrence of unusual yeast pathogens in patients with cancer with typical clinical presentations and warrants suspicion of fungal etiology to prevent misdiagnosis of trichosporonosis.
