A Case of Disseminated Scedosporium Apiospermum Infection after Bone Marrow Transplantation
View through CrossRef
Summary: A case of disseminated Scedosporium apiospermum infection in a patient undergoing bone marrow transplantation for chronic myeloid leukemia is reported. Because of graft rejection, the patient received a second transplantation 35 days after the first one, at which time he had a high fever and abdominal pains. A pulmonary infiltrate developed seven days later and S. apiospermum was grown from a bronchoalveolar lavage. The patient died 25 days after the second transplant with diffuse pulmonary infiltrates, renal failure and neurologic symptoms. An autopsy revealed a disseminated S. apiospermum infection, involving the lungs, kidneys, liver, spleen, gastrointestinal tract and the brain. The pathogen was resistant to amphotericin B and 5‐fluorocytosine, but susceptible to miconazole and ketoconazole.ZusammenfassungEs wird über einen Fall von disseminierter Scedosporium apiospermum‐Infektion in einem Patienten berichtet, der wegen einer chronischen myeloischen Leukämie eine Knochenmarktransplantation erhalten hatte. Wegen der Transplantatabstoßung erhielt der Patient 35 Tage nach der ersten eine zweite Transplantation; zu dieser Zeit hatte er hohes Fieber und Unterleibsschmerzen. Sieben Tage später entwickelt sich ein Lungeninfiltrat, und S. apiospermum wurde aus einer Bronchiallavage gezüchtet. 25 Tage nach der zweiten Transplantation verstarb der Patient mit diffusen Lungeninfiltraten, Nierenversagen und neurologischen Symptomen. In der Autopsie fand sich eine disseminierte S. apiospermum‐Infektion in der Lunge, den Nieren, der Leber, der Milz, dem Gastrointestinaltrakt und im Gehirn. Der Erreger war resistent gegenüber Amphotericin B und 5‐Fluorcytosin, aber empfindlich für Miconazol und Ketoconazol.
