Popis: Trichosporon asahii is considered an opportunistic pathogen, capable of causing superficial infections in humans and invasive deep-seated infections in immunocompromised hosts. Pneumocystis jirovecii can cause life-threatening pneumonia in immunosuppressed patients. Both Trichosporon and Pneumocystis jirovecii are highly lethal in immunocompromised individuals. Here we present a case of invasive Trichosporon asahii co-infection with Pneumocystis jiroveci in a renal transplant patient.
