A 30-year-old man had endocarditis and hip arthritis associated with the recently recognized fungus, Scedosporium inflatum. Inhibition, and possibly cure, of endocarditis occurred with medical therapy alone. Data from in vitro susceptibility testing did not predict clinical response. This case also illustrates the need to standardize fungal susceptibility testing and to remain vigilant for emerging pathogens.
一名30岁男性患有心内膜炎和髋关节炎，与最近发现的真菌——膨胀瓶霉有关。仅通过药物治疗就抑制了心内膜炎，甚至可能治愈。体外药敏试验的数据并不能预测临床反应。该病例还表明需要规范真菌药敏试验，并对新出现的病原体保持警惕。
