ABSTRACT

In the last years, we have observed an increase of pathogenic fungi, overcoat in inmunocompromised patients, that until now were quite unusual.Scedosporium apiospermum is one of those new pathogens. Those yeast present resistance to antifungal agents and poor relation between sensibili-zation in vitroandin vivo.An inmunocompetent man with onichomycosis by s. apiospermum with good respons to terbinafine is reported.
