Abstract

Fungal infections are increasingly being reported in immuno-compromised patients. In this study we report a case of systemic Trichosporon cutaneum infection in an infant with Wilms' tumor. This is the first time that an invasive infection for T. cutaneum has been reported in a Wilms' tumor patient.
