Deciphering Unexpected Vascular Locations of Scedosporium spp. and Lomentospora prolificans Fungal Infections, France.(SYNOPSIS)

Scedosporium spp. and Lomentospora prolificans are non-Aspergillus filamentous fungi causing increasingly recognized invasive fungal disease (IFD) in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients (2,2). Scedosporium spp.

Article Description

We reviewed the records of patients with cancer who had Scedosporium infection (due to Scedosporium apiospermum and Scedosporium prolificans in 21 and 4 patients, respectively). The incidence of Scedosporium infection increased from 0.82 cases per 100,000 patient-inpatient days (in 1993-1998) to 1.33 cases per 100,000 patient-inpatient days (in 1999-2005). Cases of S. prolificans infection occurred only after 2000. Dissemination occurred in 16 patients (64%). The 12-week mortality rates were 70% and 100% for S. apiospermum and S. prolificans infection, respectively. © 2006 by the Infectious Diseases Society of America. All rights reserved.
