RESUMO
The salient morphologic and physiologic characteristics of 18 isolates of Scedosporium inflatum, a newly reported human pathogen, were compared with those of the morphologically similar fungi Scedosporium apiospermum, Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, and Scopulariopsis brumptii. The formation by S. inflatum of annelloconidia in wet clumps at the apices of annellides with swollen bases was found to be the most useful characteristic in differentiating this potential pathogen.
