Abstract
Eight cases of fungal infection are described in which an arthrosporic hyphomycete has been isolated from patients of Jamaican and West African origin. In most cases the organism was the only one isolated and in one case it was isolated 3 times over a 5 month period. The fungus is described as a new species of Scytalidium (S. hyalinum). On a décrit huit infections à l'occasion desquelles un hyphomycète arthrosporé a été is olé. Le patients étaient originaires de la Jamaïque ou de l'Ouest de l'Afrique. Dans la plupart des cas, le champignon a été isolé une fois; dans l'un des cas, il a été isolé à trois réprises pendant une période de plus de cinq mois. Le champignon isolé correspond à une nouvelle espèce de Scytalidium: Scytalidium hyalinum.Keywords
