The adjunctive local antifungal therapy may be a useful option when systemic treatment is insufficient and/or surgery is not feasible. We present a case of mixed disseminated infection due Scedosporium apiospermum and S. prolificans in a lung transplant recipient. Combined local and systemic antifungal therapy provided an unusual long-term survival in the intensive care unit.engVoRhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Disseminated infectionLocal antifungal therapyLong-term survivalLung transplant recipientScedosporium sppSynergy testScedosporium apiospermum and S. prolificans mixed disseminated infection in a lung transplant recipient: An unusual case of long-term survival with combined systemic and local antifungal therapy in intensive care unitAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional27222774115610.1016/j.mmcr.2016.04.006Medical Mycology Case Reportsopen access
