RESUMO

Microsphaeropsis arundinis is an anamorphic fungal plant inhabitant belonging to the form class Coelomycetes. We describe two cases of M. arundinis soft tissue infections in immunosuppressed patients. This organism has not previously been described as causing disease in humans. It was identified on the basis of its typical ostiolate pycnidial conidiomata, ampulliform conidiogenous cells, and small, smooth-walled, brown, cylindrical conidia.
