Trichosporon beigelii infection presenting as white piedra and onychomycosis in the same patient.

Trichosporon beigelii is a fungal organism that causes white piedra and has occasionally been implicated as a nail pathogen. We describe a patient with both hair and nail changes associated with T. beigelii.
