| Abstract: | Scedosporium prolificans is an opportunistic saprophytic fungus that rapidly disseminates and is intrinsically resistant to currently available antifungal drugs. We report a fatal case of disseminated S. prolificans infection that started with orbital and ocular involvement in a patient with secondary acute myeloblastic leukemia. |
