Abstract
We report a case of sepsis due to Trichosporon cutaneum in a 20-year-o ld patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia. Neutropenia with a hypoc ellular marrow persisted for 90 days after two courses of induction ch emotherapy with mitoxantrone and ara-C. Amphotericin B, fluconazole, a nd granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factors were administered . Neutropenia (ANC <1,000/mu L) resolved 14 days after HLA-identical b one marrow transplantation. The patient is in remission, with a perfor mance status of 100%, more than 1 year after transplantation.
