Presentación de Casos Clínicos:  Se presentan 2 casos donde se aisló en urocultivos Trichosporon asahii. En ambos casos los pacientes presentaron factores de riesgo y síntomas inespecíficos.  Conclusión:  La presencia de hongos de forma persistente en el tracto urinario es considerada clínicamente significativa. El tratamiento de la funguria debe basarse en el análisis del paciente, de su estado general y de sus factores de riesgo. Para el tratamiento, se observó que el efecto de los triazoles, fueron los más efectivos en el tratamiento de la infección por T. asahii.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT  Introduction:  Urinary tract infections are one of the most frequent infectious pathologies both in the community and in the hospital setting. In the hospital environment, a high frequency of infections associated with opportunistic fungi has been observed, most of which correspond to species of Candida spp. However, other species such as Trichosporon are isolated, where the asahii species predominates (6,7).  Presentation of Clinical Cases:  Two cases are presented where Trichosporon asahii was isolated in urine cultures. In both cases, the patients presented risk factors and nonspecific symptoms.  Conclusion:  The persistent presence of fungi in the urinary tract is considered clinically significant (9,10). The treatment of funguria should be based on the analysis of the patient, his general condition and his risk factors (10). For treatment, it was observed that the effect of triazoles was the most effective in the treatment of T. asahii infection (8).]]></p></abstract>
