Description

We report two cases of pulmonary infection with Scedosporium Apiospermum. In case 1, a 66-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with bronchiectasis about 35 years earlier was admitted to our hospital because of massive hemoptysis. Chest CT showed bronchiectasia and multiple cavities with a fungus ball in the right upper lobe. A right upper lobectomy was performed in order to cease hemoptysis. Bacterial culture from the resected specimen revealed Scedosporium Apiospermum infection. In case 2, a 27-year-old woman who was born in China and came to Japan was admitted to our hospital because of the presence of cavity with mass in the right upper lobe. In spite of medication for pulmonary tuberculosis, enlargement of the lesion was recognized. A right upper lobectomy was performed for diagnosis and treatment. Bacterial Culture from the resected specimen revealed Scedosporium Apiospermum infection. Both patients recovered uneventfully after the operation.
