Complicated urinary tract infection by Trichosporon loubieri

Complicated urinary tract infection by Trichosporon loubieri

We report two cases of complicated Urinary Tract Infection, one with nephrostomy tube left in-situ and other with bladder outlet obstruction, caused by Trichosporon loubieri. Both patients responded well to antifungal treatment along with change/removal of catheters. In both the cases, correct ident...
