Abstract
- ABSTRACTWe report a case of disseminated Scedosporium/Pseudallescheriainfection due to Pseudallescheria boydiisensu stricto after lung transplantation in a patient with cystic fibrosis. Dissemination occurred under voriconazole. Despite surgery and combination therapy with voriconazole, caspofungin, and terbinafine, the patient died 8 months after transplantation. Previously reported cases are reviewed.
