ABSTRACT
Trichosporon asahii is an uncommon cause of fungal sepsis among neonates, but it is an important life-threatening opportunistic systemic pathogen. We report a case of T. asahii sepsis in a 980-g female baby born at 27 weeks of gestation. The extremely preterm initially presented with recurrent feeding intolerance and bloating; she subsequently developed oxygen saturation fluctuations, apnea, and a decreased heart rate. Blood culture was positive, and the causative agent was identified as T. asahii by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). According to reported minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values, the infant received a high dose of fluconazole (FLC, 12 mg/kg, qod) and was successfully treated.
