2013, Clinical ImagingCitation Excerpt :S. apiospermum is found in many natural sites, including soil, animal manure, decaying vegetation, and polluted streams [1,2]. In the immunocompetent host, presentations include sinusitis, lung infection, or most often after traumatic inoculation through skin bruises, usually in the lower limbs, as a chronic suppurative infection known by the eponym “Madura foot” [3,4]. Central nervous system infection in immunocompetent individuals is usually associated with near drowning, aspiration of a large inoculum of fungi which likely reaches the central nervous system (CNS) through hematogenous spread after pulmonary infection [4,5], direct inoculation [5], extension from orbital infection [6], surgical procedures or ventriculoperitoneal shunting [7,8], epidural anesthesia [9] and sphenoidal sinusitis [10].
Immunotherapy of infections caused by rare filamentous fungi
2012, Clinical Microbiology and InfectionCitation Excerpt :Pseudallescheria boydii is the teleomorph (sexual state), distinguished from its anamorph (asexual state) S. apiospermum [1]. Over the years, both states have undergone several sequential name changes, having been referred to as Petriellidium boydii, Allescheria boydii, Pseudallescheria sheari, and Monosporium apiospermum [59]. Treatment of Scedosporium infections is particularly challenging, because of the resistance of the fungus to many anti-fungal agents; thus, on many occasions, salvage treatment options are required.
