TY - JOUR T1 - Amphotericin B responsive Scedosporium apiospermum infection in a patient with acute myeloid leukaemia.

Scedosporium apiospermum was isolated from the lesion, which resolved rapidly on treatment with intravenous amphotericin B despite being resistant in vitro to this agent. This observation suggests that sensitivity testing of S apiospermum should be interpreted with caution and that clinical response may be a better indicator of outcome. ER -
