Quantitative PCR assay used to monitor serum Trichosporon asahii DNA concentrations in disseminated trichosporonosis
Pediatr Infect Dis J.
2008 Nov.
Abstract
A bone marrow transplant recipient with disseminated trichosporonosis was successfully treated with voriconazole. Quantitative PCR assay results for Trichosporon asahii DNA in the sera were well correlated with the patient's clinical course. Based on the in vitro susceptibility test, the organism was susceptible to voriconazole.
