Περίληψη:
Trichoderma longibrachiatum is a fungus belonging to the genus
Trichoderma. Trichoderma long-ibrachiatum is not thought as a pathogenic
for healthy individuals. However, it has the ability to produce toxic
peptides and extracellular proteases and has been described to cause
invasive infections in immunocompromised hosts. Trichoderma
longibrachiatum has been reported as the causative microorganism of lung
infections, skin infections, sinus infections, otitis, stomatitis
endocarditis, pericarditis, gastrointestinal infections, mediastinitis
and peritonitis. We report the first case of pneumonia with
parapneumonic effusion in an old woman with diabetes mellitus due to
Trichoderma longibrachiatum. (C) 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier
