Trichosporon asahii has emerged as a severe life-threatening, opportunistic, systemic pathogen along with high mortality rates because of the increased use of cytotoxic or immunosuppressive drugs. We report a case of catheter-related T. asahii bloodstream infection complicated with multiple septic skin lesions in the extremities, lobar nephronia, and a muscular abscess in the neutropenic period after receiving chemotherapy. We successfully treated T. asahii infection using voriconazole for ten weeks without complications.
