Scytalidium dimidiatum, a dematiaceous fungus, has been well established as an agent of dermatomycosis. There are few reports of invasive infection caused by S. dimidiatum; most infections occurred in immunocompromised hosts. We present an immunocompetent patient with pleural S. dimidiatum infection and review nine other published cases of invasive S. dimidiatum infections.
葚孢霉是一种暗色真菌,已被确认为皮肤真菌病的病原体。关于葚孢霉引起侵袭性感染的报道较少;大多数感染发生在免疫功能低下的宿主中。我们报告了一例免疫功能正常的患者发生胸膜葚孢霉感染的病例,并回顾了其他9例已发表的葚孢霉侵袭性感染病例。
