Abstract
A case of disseminated infection caused by Scedosporium inflatum is reported in a patient undergoing autologous bone marrow transplantation for acute myeloblastic leukemia. The fungus was isolated from a blood culture and necropsy studies showed a disseminated infection involving numerous organs. In vitro studies showed the isolate to be resistant to amphotericin B, 5-fluorocytosine, ketoconazole and miconazole.Keywords
