Insight into the antifungals used to address human infection due to Trichosporon spp.: a scoping review.

Trichosporonosis infections have been increasing worldwide. Providing adequate treatment for these infections remains a challenge. This scoping review contains information about potential antifungals to treat this pathology. Using online databases, we found 76 articles published between 2010 and 2020 related to this topic. Classic antifungals, molecules and biomolecules, repositioned drugs and natural products have been tested against species of Trichosporon . Experimental research has lacked depth or was limited to in vitro and in vivo tests, so there are no promising new candidates for the clinical treatment of patients with trichosporonosis. Furthermore, most studies did not present appropriate scientific criteria for drug tests, compromising their quality.
