ABSTRACT
Scedosporium apiospermum, an asexual form of Pseudallescheria boydii, is a saprophytic mold with a worldwide distribution. It may cause severe pulmonary or disseminated infections in immunocompromised patients who have undergone organ transplantation, have hematological malignancies, or have received corticosteroid therapy. However, in immunocompetent patients, it usually produces localized infection and has been reported to cause pneumonia after near-drowning in polluted water. We present here the case of an immunocompetent 72-year-old woman with pneumonia caused by S. apiospermum.
