Current Fungal Infection Reports, 2013
Invasive scedosporiosis is a severe fungal infection, caused by species of the genus Scedosporium (Pseudallescheria teleomorph), usually refractory to treatment and with a common fatal outcome. Although the pathogenesis mechanisms involved in these infections are poorly known some progress has been made in recent years. This paper revises the available

Hydroxamate siderophores of Scedosporium apiospermum
BioMetals, 2009Scedosporium apiospermum is an emerging pathogen colonizing the airways of patients with cystic fibrosis and causing severe infections in immunocompromised hosts. In order to improve our knowledge on the pathogenic mechanisms of this fungus, we investigated the production of siderophores.

Scedosporium/Pseudallescheria Infections
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2004The genus Scedosporium comprises a group of filamentous fungi found ubiquitously in the environment. The two major human pathogens within this genus are S. apiospermum-the asexual state of Pseudallescheria boydii-and S. prolificans. Both histologically resemble Aspergillus species, with hyphae that are septated and branching at acute angles.

Scedosporium apiospermum (Pseudallescheria boydii) Endocarditis
Journal of Infection, 2002Scedosporium apiospermum, the asexual state of Pseudallescheria boydii, is increasingly recognized as an opportunistic pathogen. We report a case of native valve endocarditis due to this organism that developed in an elderly patient following a prolonged hospitalization. Literature on endocarditis caused by S. apiospermum and P. boydii is reviewed.

Scedosporium apiospermum pacemaker endocarditis
International Journal of Cardiology, 2009A patient developed a fungal pacemaker infection with Scedosporium apiospermum following a series of pacemaker manipulations. Despite percutaneous removal of the pacemaker system and subsequent operative extraction of the atrial thrombus, his course was complicated by persistent sepsis, pulmonary septic emboli and bilateral frontal lobe infarction ...

Scedosporium apiospermum–Associated Gonarthritis
Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery, 2000Abstract Summary: A 23-year-old woman, otherwise healthy, hurt her left knee in a fall with resulting superficial abrasions and pain. This was followed by inflammation and effusion and the pain continued. Because damage to the meniscus was suspected, she underwent diagnostic arthroscopy. Initially, only severe synovitis was detected.

Post‐traumatic Scedosporium inflatum endophthalmitis
Clinical & Experimental Ophthalmology, 2002AbstractThis is the first documented case of post‐traumatic Scedosporium inflatum endophthalmitis and only the second of S. inflatum endophthalmitis occurring in a non‐immunocompromised individual, to the authors’ knowledge. A case is reported of a 57‐year‐old woman who, while chopping wood, had a wood chip hit her in the right eye.

ScedosporiumSpecies Infections and Treatments
Journal of Chemotherapy, 2003Scedosporium species are now increasingly isolated from immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. Unfortunately, Scedosporium species infections are generally resistant to amphotericin B, and S. prolificans strains are particularly resistant to presently-available antifungal agents.

Clinical & Experimental Ophthalmology, 2001
ABSTRACTThe incidence of disseminated infection with Scedosporium species is increasing in patients with haematological malignancy. Two fatal cases are reported of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia and neutropenia who presented with Scedosporium endophthalmitis.

Scedosporium apiospermum post-traumatic cranial infection
Brain Injury, 2002Scedosporium apiospermum is an environmental mould. Human infection caused by this organism is described more and more often. However, only a few case reports demonstrate its role as a telluric contaminant in patients affected by traumatism. This report is the case of a severe post traumatic infection by S.
