Scedosporiosis and lomentosporiosis: modern perspectives on these difficult-to-treat rare mold infections. [PDF]

Clin Microbiol Rev
SUMMARY Although Scedosporium species and Lomentospora prolificans are uncommon causes of invasive fungal diseases (IFDs), these infections are associated with high mortality and are costly to treat with a limited armamentarium of antifungal drugs.
