Post-craniotomy wound infection caused by Pseudallescheria boydii: Case report

1986 
✓ The authors describe the first reported case of post-craniotomy wound infection due to Pseudallescheria boydii. The patient was a 24-year-old man who sustained a direct blunt injury to the calvaria, resulting in a large subdural hematoma that was surgically evacuated. Subsequently, the surgical wound became infected with a fungus, P. boydii, and was successfully treated with intravenous miconazole.
