Combined antifungal therapy is superior to monotherapy in pulmonary scedosporiosis in cystic fibrosis [PDF]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterised by chronic airway infection with bacteria and fungi. Infections caused by Scedosporium/Lomentospora species can occur and are difficult to treat. Moulds belonging to the genus Scedosporium/Lomentospora are detected most frequently in respiratory samples of patients with CF, next to Aspergillus spp.

Impact of infection status and cyclosporine on voriconazole pharmacokinetics in an experimental model of cerebral scedosporiosis [PDF]
Cerebral Scedosporium infections usually occur in lung transplant recipients as well as in immunocompetent patients in the context of near-drowning. Voriconazole is the first-line treatment.
