Although they are resistant to many antifungal agents, this group of pathogens has a favorable susceptibility profile to azoles, especially voriconazole. Here, we describe the management of S. apiospermum infection in an otherwise healthy 44-year-old woman. She had exhibited intermittent hemoptysis for 2 years before admission to our hospital. Computed tomography revealed a thin-walled and well-circumscribed cavitary lesion in the left upper lobe; the lesion was filled with consolidative opacities. Fungal culture of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid specimens revealed grayish-white mold; lactophenol cotton blue staining revealed acute angle branched septate hyaline cylindrical hyphae, characteristic of S. apiospermum. Despite voriconazole 200 mg twice daily for 8 weeks, the patient showed no improvement; thus, her left upper lobe was removed via thoracoscopic surgery. Her symptoms immediately improved and chest radiography after surgical resection showed no evidence of radiological progression or reoccurrence. This report demonstrates that S. apiospermum lung infection may not respond well to voriconazole alone in immunocompetent hosts; thus, surgery could be curative for these patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0300060520931620","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,2]],"date-time":"2020-07-02T10:32:01Z","timestamp":1593685921000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Management of pulmonary\n                    <i>Scedosporium apiospermum<\/i>\n                    infection by thoracoscopic surgery in an immunocompetent woman"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Wei","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Group of Pulmonary Disease, Department of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Chengdu, P.
