Trichosporonosis is a disease associated with fungi in the genus Trichosporon. It most commonly presents as an infection of hair roots in the skin, causing roughening and loss of hair; this superficial form is also called white piedra. In immunocompromised people, trichosporonosis may progress to an invasive and systemic form which may be life-threatening. In immunocompetent adults, the risk of white piedra progressing to invasive disease is exceptionally low.
