Issue Date: | 19-Apr-2013 | Publication information: | Medical Mycology Case Reports 2013; 2(): 98-102 | Abstract: | We report a case of Scedosporium prolificans infection in a patient following surgery for squamous cell lung carcinoma. Combination therapy with voriconazole and terbinafine was commenced for intrathoracic infection and mycotic vasculitis. In spite of antifungal treatment, he developed culture-positive sternal and rib osteomyelitis four months later. Scedosporiosis is not commonly reported in patients with solid organ malignancies, and this case highlights its aggressive nature and propensity for direct local invasion. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/12045 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.mmcr.2013.04.001 | ORCID: | Journal: | Medical Mycology Case Reports | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24432228 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Disseminated Scedosporium prolificans Terbinafine Therapeutic drug monitoring Voriconazole |
