Abstract:

v61558; Scopulariopsis spp. are common soil saprophytes and have been
isolated from a wide variety of substrates. They are dermatomycotic
molds and mainly have been associated with onychomycosis.
v61558; However, a number of severe human mycoses have been
documented, mainly in immunocompromised hosts (keratitis,
posttraumatic endophthalmitis, disseminated skin lesions in AIDS
patients, granulomatous subcutaneous infections, invasive
hyalohyphomycosis, fungus balls, pneumonia in leukemic patients,
endocarditis related to valvuloplasty or prosthetic valves, and fatal
disseminated infection after bone marrow transplantation).
v61558; Limited and contradictory data are available on the susceptibility
of Scopulariopsis species
