摘要：
Two fatal infections caused by Scedosporium inflatum in immunocompromised patients are described. One patient developed peritonitis with this fungus 3 mths post renal transplantation. After a stormy course in the intensive care unit he eventually died. The other patient was suffering from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and showed persistent neutropenia. Progressive deterioration occurred, and disseminated fungal infection was found at post mortem. Both isolates were resistant to all commonly available antifungal agents.
