First Report of Scedosporium aurantiacum Endocarditis in an Immunocompetent Chinese Male and Literature Review

This is the first reported clinical case of <i>S. aurantiacum</i> endocarditis in China. This case highlights that even in immunocompetent patients, <i>S. aurantiacum</i> infection should be considered. For clinicians, understanding a detailed history of the contaminated environments that the patient has been exposed to is crucial for early diagnosis. Nanopore sequencing offers a new option for identifying <i>S. aurantiacum</i>. Drug susceptibility testing is essential for determining the most appropriate antimycotic agent.
