Scedosporium boydii pulmonary infection in an immunocompetent patient with COPD confirmed by next-generation metagenomic sequencing and culture: a case report

Abstract Scedosporium boydii infections pose diagnostic challenges due to their nonspecific clinical manifestations and slow growth characteristics in conventional cultures. This paper highlights the diagnostic value of molecular technology combined with targeted prolonged culture for rare fungi. Un...
