摘要：

Scedosporium apiospermum, the asexual state of Pseudallescheria boydii, is increasingly recognized as an opportunistic pathogen. We report a case of native valve endocarditis due to this organism that developed in an elderly patient following, a prolonged hospitalization. Literature on endocarditis caused by S. apiospermum and P. boydii is reviewed. (C) 2002 The British Infection Society.
