摘要：

Trichosporon species are emerging opportunistic yeasts that cause life-threatening disseminated disease in severely immunocompromised patients. Trichosporon japonicum is a very rare cause of invasive trichosporonosis. We describe a case of Trichosporon japonicum fungemia in an immunocompetent patient with a transcutaneous biventricular assist device.
