Abstract:
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 identification of T. loubieri was done by IGS1 sequencing. Prompt identification and timely management headed to good clinical outcome. Hence, clinicians should be aware of T. loubieri as an emerging fungi causing human infections.
