This study examined dangerous fungal infections caused by Scedosporium and Lomentospora species in lung transplant patients at a Spanish hospital. Researchers found these infections were uncommon but very serious, with high death rates especially from the Lomentospora type. Current antifungal drugs often don’t work well against these fungi, highlighting the need for better treatment options.
