Pseudallescheria Boydii
''Pseudallescheria boydii'' is a species of fungus classified in the Ascomycota. It is associated with some forms of eumycetoma/ maduromycosis and is the causative agent of pseudallescheriasis. Typically found in stagnant and polluted water, it has been implicated in the infection of immunocompromised and near-drowned pneumonia patients. Treatment of infections with ''P. boydii'' is complicated by resistance to many of the standard antifungal agents normally used to treat infections by filamentous fungi. ''Pseudallescheria boydii'' fungal infection was the cause of death in three athletes submerged in the Yarkon River after a bridge collapsed during the 1997 Maccabiah Games.
