    Background:

    • Pseudallescheria boydii is an opportunistic fungal pathogen.
    • This report details five cases of P. boydii infection in the UK.
    • No patients had a recent travel history.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of otitis media involved P. boydii and concurrent bacterial infections.
    • One patient with diabetes mellitus developed a pulmonary fungus ball.
    • A farmer's wife presented with an ankle ulcer after minor trauma to a previous skin graft site.

    Findings:

    • Precipitating antibodies for P. boydii were detected in most cases.
    • P. boydii was associated with bacterial infections in otitis cases.
    • The study highlights diverse clinical presentations of P. boydii.
