Scedosporium: Causes & Reasons

Possible Causes for Scedosporium

Abstract We report a case of histologically confirmed Scedosporium prolificans pulmonary infection secondary to long-standing bronchiectasis that necessitated excision lung [journalofinfection.com]

After the isolation of Scedosporium the patient was treated with itraconazole for 4weeks as Scedosporium is almost always resistant to amphotericin. [ijpmonline.org]

Two species have health effects which can be serious, even fatal: Scedosporium apiospermum and Scedosporium prolificans. These organisms have a surplus of past names. [emlab.com]

Bacterial and histological examinations reveal Scedosporium. After spontaneous perforation of the corneal ulcer an enucleation was performed. [atlasophthalmology.net]

Mycetoma

We report a case of mycetoma caused by Scedosporium apiospermum in the right foot of a 45-year-old farmer in north India. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment of Scedosporium apiospermum mycetoma usually requires limb amputation. A 49-year-old woman, from Ivory Coast, was diagnosed with Madura foot in 1995. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Mycetoma is a chronic granulomatous infection that is difficult to treat, notably when due to fungi such as Scedosporium apiospermum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Aspergillus Mycetoma

Common causative species are Madurella, Leptosphaeria, Aspergillus, Exophiala, Fusarium, Acremonium, and Scedosporium. [ijidonline.com]
