Scedosporium/Lomentospora species are widely distributed in nature. They are generally saprophytes, but can cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients and occasionally in immunocompetent patients that are difficult to treat due to high levels of antifungal resistance. The distribution of Scedosporium/Lomentospora species shows regional differences. Scedosporium boydii and Scedosporium apiospermum are the most frequently isolated species in our region, whereas Scedosporium aurantiacum is more common in other regions. We describe the first isolation in Argentina of S. aurantiacum in a vitreous humor infection from a previously healthy patient after traumatic injury in her left eye. Due to the suspicion of fungal endophthalmitis, a mycological study of the vitreous humor was performed. The culture allowed the isolation of S. aurantiacum. The patient was treated with voriconazole with favorable clinic evolution.
