Disseminated Lomentospora prolificans infection presenting with arterial exsanguination

Lomentospora prolificans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen found especially in Australia, Spain, Portugal, California, and the southern United States. Although it causes a wide spectrum of infections, disseminated L. prolificans infection remains very rare. The diagnosis and medical management are...
