Scedosporium inflatum is a newly described human pathogen, their infections primarily involved musculoskeletal tissues. We report 2 fatal cases with disseminated S. inflatum infections in Spanish patients. The fungus was isolated from blood in both cases. Amphotericin B treatment was ineffective. In vitro susceptibility testing of one isolate against 7 antifungal agents is done. These cases illustrate the need to remain vigilant for this new emerging pathogen.
膨胀瓶霉是一种新描述的人类病原体，其感染主要累及肌肉骨骼组织。我们报告了2例西班牙患者发生播散性膨胀瓶霉感染的致命病例。两例患者的血液中均分离出该真菌。两性霉素B治疗无效。对其中一株分离菌进行了针对7种抗真菌药物的体外药敏试验。这些病例表明需要对这种新出现的病原体保持警惕。
