Scedosporium species and Lomentospora prolificans in Italian cystic fibrosis patients: prevalence and distribution in seven centers using a selective medium

Microbiologia Medica, 2021
Background and aims. Scedosporium species and Lomentospora prolificans are the filamentous fungi isolated more frequently from the cystic fibrosis (CF) lower airways, after Aspergillus fumigatus. Previous studies showed that, in CF patients, Scedosporium

Invasive Scedosporium and Lomentospora prolificans Infections in Australia: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study. [PDF]

Open Forum Infect Dis, 2023
AbstractBackgroundManagement of Scedosporium/Lomentospora prolificans infections remains challenging. We described predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, and outcomes of these rare mold infections, including predictors of early (1-month) and late (18-month) all-cause mortality and treatment failure.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective Australian-

First case of Rhinocladiella mackenziei brain abscess in Turkey: Case report and review of the literature

Mycoses, Volume 66, Issue 9, Page 755-766, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Rhinocladiella mackenziei is a highly neurotropic fungus, mainly reported from the Middle East. However, in recent years, there have been some cases from outside this region. We described an additional fatal case of R. mackenziei cerebral infection for the first time from Turkey and made a literature review of all previously reported cases ...

Scedosporium species and Lomentospora prolificans fungaemia is uniformly fatal in patients with haematological malignancy

Internal Medicine Journal, Volume 53, Issue 8, Page 1489-1491, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Scedosporium and Lomentospora species are environmental moulds that are virulent in immunocompromised hosts and rarely cause bloodstream infection (BSI). Patients with Scedosporium and Lomentospora species BSI were identified by the state public laboratory service in Queensland, Australia, over a 20‐year period.
