Abstract
A 32-year-old female with alcoholic cirrhosis attempted to drown herself in a pond. She remained in a coma for 57 days. After a stormy course she developed multiple brain abscesses due to Scedosporium (Monosporium) apiospermum. Despite intravenous and intrathecal amphotericin B (total dose 870 mg) the patient died 71 days after the near drowning.
