Abstract EN

Treatment of Scedosporium apiospermum central nervous system (CNS) infection typically consists of an azole in combination with surgical debridement.

This approach requires prolonged treatment and carries a high associated mortality.

We present two cases of the successful treatment of S.

apiospermum CNS infections with the combination of voriconazole and terbinafine.
