Onychomycosis by Trichosporon Inkin: A Rare Clinical Entity
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
ABSTRACT Trichosporon species are basidiomycetous yeasts that are widely distributed in the nature and regularly found on normal skin. The cylinder-shaped arthroconidia forming yeast has undergone a major taxonomic reclassification with Trichosporon inkin associated with white piedra of hair shafts. Here in we report a rare case of onychomycosis in an otherwise healthy adult.
