Abstract
Scedosporium prolificans infection was analyzed in 18 patients from whom the fungus was isolated during the period 1990-1999. Of these 18 patients, 12 had some predisposing factor and either unconfirmed infection or colonization, and 6 patients had confirmed disseminated infection: 4 patients with leukemia died, 1 patient with breast cancer who underwent autologous bone marrow transplantation survived, and 1 patient with advanced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome died, although the fungal infection did not seem to affect his clinical symptoms.
