We report a case of chronic disseminated Trichosporon asahii infection in a leukemic child. Administration of amphotericin B lipid complex resulted in rapid control and improvement of the initial infection but failed to prevent the development of chronic disseminated disease. Cure was achieved after treatment was changed to a 20-month course of itraconazole. This case report demonstrates that Trichosporon species can cause chronic disseminated disease with a pattern similar to that of disease caused by Candida species.
