  • Title: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator infection due to Scedosporium apiospermum.
    Author: Sarvat B, Sarria JC.
    Journal: J Infect; 2007 Oct; 55(4):e109-13. PubMed ID: 17761293.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator infection due to Scedosporium apiospermum. This infection persisted despite systemic antifungal treatment with voriconazole and was controlled after removal of the foreign device and replacement of the involved tricuspid valve. This case underscores the importance of a combined surgical and medical approach for this complicated infection. Scedosporium species should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cardiac or intravascular device-related infections.
