Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-) T cell therapy is a relatively new form of immunotherapy for hematological malignancies. Although patients are at increased risk of infection following CAR-T cell therapy, reports of fungal infections are scarce. We report a case of Scedosporium apiospermum infection causing bursitis of the elbow in a lymphoma patient after treatment with CAR-T cells. The fungal bursitis relapsed under posaconazole treatment, but was cured after surgical extirpation of the bursa.
