Scedosporiosis/lomentosporiosis observational study (SOS): Clinical significance of Scedosporium species identification [PDF]
Medical Mycology, 2020 Abstract Scedosporiosis/lomentosporiosis is a devastating emerging fungal infection. Our objective was to describe the clinical pattern and to analyze whether taxonomic grouping of the species involved was supported by differences in terms of clinical presentations or outcomes.

The Role of Antifungals in Pediatric Critical Care Invasive Fungal Infections
Critical Care Research and Practice, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) have seen considerable increase in pediatric intensive care units over the past several decades. IFIs are predominantly caused by Candida species, and candidemia is the third most common cause of healthcare‐associated bloodstream infections (BSIs) in children.

Molecular Identification and Susceptibility of Clinically Relevant Scedosporium spp. in China
BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 As various new sibling species within the Scedosporium spp. have been described recently, this study was conducted to investigate distribution and antifungal susceptibility profiles of the different species of Scedosporium spp. in China. Twenty‐one clinical strains of Scedosporium from China and two strains from Japan were reidentified by MLSA.
