    Author: Benamu E, Yu AT, Xie L, Fernandez-Pol S, Liu AY, Ho DY.
    Journal: Transpl Infect Dis; 2018 Feb; 20(1):. PubMed ID: 29111602.
    Abstract:
    Infection with Scedosporium species is associated with a significant morbidity and mortality and is becoming increasingly common, especially in immunocompromised patients. We describe the presentation and successful management of an immunocompromised patient with Scedosporium apiospermum infection of the upper urinary tract system, a rare disease manifestation. The current literature on urinary tract scedosporiosis is further reviewed with emphasis on treatment options and limitations of current antifungal therapy.
