Invasive trichosporonosis is a deep mycosis found mainly in immunocompromised hosts, and the major pathogen is  Trichosporon asahii . We detected the species-specific intergenic spacers (IGS) of rRNA gene of  T. asahii  using a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay in 15 isolates with 3 different visualization methods, including SYBR green detection, gel electrophoresis, and turbidimetric methods. The LAMP assay displayed superior rapidity to other traditional methods in the detection time; that is, only 1 h was needed for detection and identification of the pathogen DNA. Furthermore, the detection limit of the LAMP assay was more sensitive than the PCR assay. We also successfully detect the presence of  T. asahii  in samples from experimentally infected mice and samples from patients with invasive trichosporonosis caused by  T. asahii , suggesting that this method may become useful in clinical applications in the near future.
