Lay abstract Trichosporon species have been emerged as opportunistic fungi that mainly affect patients with low immunity. Hematological (blood related) cancer patients usually present with bloodstream infection with Trichosporon species, particularly Trichosporon asahii. Reports of this infection by other species of the genus are uncommon. Thus, in this paper, we present a case of bloodstream infection by Trichosporon inkin in a 39-year-old female patient with intestinal obstruction and absence of hematological cancer. The late fungal diagnosis, the ineffective control of the first symptoms and consequent failure to start specific medication were the factors that led to the patient's death.
