Abstract :
Scedosporium apiospermum is a ubiquitous filamentous fungus commonly isolated from soil, polluted water bodies and sewage. Recently, the prevalence of cutaneous and visceral infection caused by these fungi has increased among immunocompromised patients. Various opportunistic fungal infections have been reported among COVID-19 recovered patients. In this study, a rare case of lymphocutaneous infection due to Scedosporium apiospermum in an immunocompromised post COVID -19 diabetic man is reported
