A Rare Case of Osteomyelitis Caused by Scedosporium Apiospermum in the Right Foot of an Immunocompetent Patient
This is a rare case of Scedosporium apiospermum osteomyelitis of the right foot, which was successively misdiagnosed and finally cured by surgery and antifungal treatment with voriconazole. Given that Scedosporium apiospermum is extremely rare and resistant to antifungal drugs, this case highlights the importance of microbiologic culture and pathologic examination, surgical debridement, and precise antifungal treatment.
