Disseminated <i>Scedosporium</i> / <i>Pseudallescheria</i> Infection after Double-Lung Transplantation in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis

Abstract

We report a case of disseminated Scedosporium/Pseudallescheria infection due to Pseudallescheria boydii sensu 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.
