Abstract

We present a case of Trichosporon asahii fatal infection recognized post mortem in a premature newborn baby of 685 g. Trichosporon asahii isolated from endovascular catheters and endotraqueal tube, is an opportunistic yeast described like an emergent pathogen in serious systemic infections and nosocomial infections in the neonatal intensive care units. The colonization and disease by this uncommon microorganism, usually is unspecific and has similar clinical presentation to other fungal infections with a bad prognosis.
