“…Four species have been revealed as human pathogens: S. prolificans , S. aurantiacum , S. apiospermum (teleomorphic state, Pseudallescheria
apiosperma ), and S. boydii (teleomorphic state, P. boydii ) (1, 2). Scedosporium is multidrug resistant and may cause various infections, such as epidural abscess, endocarditis, keratitis, pneumonia, and fungemia (3, 4). In particular, S. prolificans is resistant to most currently available antifungal agents, and is associated with a high mortality rate of up to 95% in immunocompromised patients (1, 2).…”
