The authors report a case of acute fungal arthritis following traumatic inoculation (bramble prick) in a 9 year-old boy. The implicated fungus was an highly pathogenic atypical strain of Scedosporium (monosporium) apiospermum. ⋯ This case is compared with other in the literature. The part of ketoconazole in the recovery of this patient is emphasized.
