Scedosporium inflatum osteomyelitis in a dog [PDF]
Scedosporium inflatum Malloch et Salkin was found to cause osteomyelitis in a 6-year-old spayed female beagle. The previously healthy dog suddenly developed right-forelimb lameness. Bony changes consisting of proliferation with some lysis were noted on radiographic examinations.

Scedosporium apiospermium keratitis: a case report [PDF]
Abstract Background Scedosporium apiospermum, an opportunistic and filamentous fungus, is a rarely seen ocular entity that is difficult to identify and heal. We report a challenging case of S. apiospermium keratitis and discuss the treatment modalities in light of previous studies.

Fungal infections of the central nervous system: A review of fungal pathogens and treatment [PDF]
Multiple factors influence the outcome of fungal infection of the central nervous system (CNS). The host and the pathogen in concert with drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier and drug activity are key factors in outcome.

Scedosporium spp. and Lomentospora prolificans are filamentous fungi that emerged as human pathogens; however, their mechanisms of virulence/pathogenesis are still largely unknown. In the present work, we have evaluated the interaction of S. apiospermum, S. minutisporum, S. aurantiacum, and L. prolificans with lung epithelial cells (A549 line).
