| Popis: | Scedosporium species can cause colonization, superficial and deep localized infection or systemic disease, especially in immunocompromised hosts. We report a case of localized infection due to Scedosporium apiospermum in a 47 year old woman, with previous nasal surgery. She consulted for recurrent mucopurulent post-nasal discharge not responding to antibiotics. Computed tomography showed opacification of right maxillary sinus. Surgery was performed to removed abnormal tissue from sinus; biopsy revealed chronic sinusitis with aggregate of tightly packed hyphae suggestive of filamentous fungi. The microbiology fungal culture reported Scedosporium apiospermum. |
