Trichosporon is a common cause of superficial mycotic infection bid has rarely been associated with endocarditis. The case of a patient who had a peritoneovenous shunt for chronic intractable ascites due to Laennec liver cirrhosis is described. The shunt was revised on several occasions, and the last procedure was complicated by a draining skin sinus wound. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of Trichosporon endocarditis complicating a peritoneovenous shunt.
