Abstract
Scedosporium apiospermum, a ubiquitous environmental mold, is increasingly reported as causing invasive fungal disease in immunocompromised hosts. It poses a therapeutic challenge due to its intrinsic resistance to traditional antifungals and ability to recur despite demonstrating susceptibility. We present an immunocompromised patient with a cutaneous S. apiospermum infection that disseminated despite treatment with voriconazole, the drug of choice. Adding echinocandins and GM-CSF provided partial recovery, indicating a potential synergistic role of dual-antifungal and immunotherapeutic agents.
