Comparative Pathogenicity of Lomentospora prolificans (Scedosporium prolificans) Isolates from Mexican Patients [PDF]
Mycopathologia, 2017 We identified 11 Lomentospora prolificans isolates recovered from Mexican patients using phenotypic and molecular characteristics. The identification of isolates was assessed by internal transcribed spacer (ITS rDNA) sequencing. In vitro susceptibility

Eradication of Lomentospora prolificans Osteomyelitis of the Wrist with Combination Antifungal Therapy, Voriconazole Bone Cement, and Surgical Debridement [PDF]
Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2020 Lomentospora prolificans is an emerging pathogen that is difficult to treat due to its intrinsic resistance to currently available antifungal agents. Current evidence demonstrates synergy between Azoles and Terbinafine against L.

Autopsy Findings in a Case of Lomentospora prolificans Fungemia in Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background Lomentospora prolificans is a soil‐, plant‐, or animal‐borne mold that can affect immunocompromised hosts. Most L. prolificans infections are identifiable in the bloodstream. L. prolificans fungemia has never been reported in an autopsy. Case Report We treated a 79‐year‐old man with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), MDS‐EB‐1 subtype.
