Opportunistic Scopulariopsis pneumonia in an immunocompromised host

L J Wheat et al. South Med J. 1984 Dec.

Abstract

We have described a patient with fatal Scopulariopsis pneumonia, a previously unreported infection, complicating immunosuppressive therapy for acute myeloblastic leukemia. This Scopulariopsis isolate was highly resistant to available antifungal agents, in part accounting for our patient's death.
