    Pseudallescheria boydii infections were identified in five UK patients without recent travel. This fungus, often linked with bacterial co-infections, caused otitis, pulmonary disease, and skin ulcers.

    Area of Science:

    • Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Clinical Microbiology

    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.

    Implications:

    • This study expands the known geographical distribution of P. boydii infections.
    • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for P. boydii infections.
    • Further research into P. boydii pathogenesis and treatment is warranted.
