Case: A 9-year-old boy presented with a painful, swollen knee. He had a wound on the knee 2 months ago after a fall in contaminated water. At another hospital, this was treated with debridement twice, and the patient received several antibiotics. Imaging showed septic arthritis and epiphyseal osteomyelitis involving the proximal medial tibia. Surgical debridement and joint washout were performed. Fungal cultures grew Scedosporium boydii. Antifungal treatment with voriconazole was given. At a 5-year follow-up, we noticed favorable outcomes without any complications. Conclusions: Fungal osteomyelitis because of direct inoculation should be considered a rare differential diagnosis while treating epiphyseal osteomyelitis.

“…Resection or debridement may also be warranted for the management of osteoarticular diseases caused by the hyaline molds, as exemplified by musculoskeletal infections caused by Scedosporium spp. and Lomentospora prolificans [ 204 ]. Disseminated disease is best managed with antifungal therapy and restoration of the innate host immunity.…”

The incidence of invasive sino-pulmonary diseases due to non-Aspergillus hyaline molds is increasing due to an enlarging and evolving population of immunosuppressed hosts as well as improvements in the capabilities of molecular-based diagnostics. Herein, we review the following opportunistic pathogens known to cause sinopulmonary disease, the most common manifestation of hyalohyphomycosis: Fusarium spp., Scedosporium spp., Lomentospora prolificans, Scopulariopsis spp., Trichoderma spp., Acremonium spp., Paecilomyces variotii, Purpureocillium lilacinum, Rasamsonia argillacea species complex, Arthrographis kalrae, and Penicillium species. To facilitate an understanding of the epidemiology and clinical features of sino-pulmonary hyalohyphomycoses in the context of host immune impairment, we utilized a host-based approach encompassing the following underlying conditions: neutropenia, hematologic malignancy, hematopoietic and solid organ transplantation, chronic granulomatous disease, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and healthy individuals who sustain burns, trauma, or iatrogenic exposures. We further summarize the pre-clinical and clinical data informing antifungal management for each pathogen and consider the role of adjunctive surgery and/or immunomodulatory treatments to optimize patient outcome.
