We report a case of disseminated cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by Cladophialophora bantiana in an immunocompromised female who presented with multiple pyogenic granuloma-like nodules, dermatophytosis-like plaque, and subcutaneous cysts on the upper and lower extremities without systemic invol...
متن کاملSporotrichosis: An Infectious Emerging Mycosis of Zoonotic Potential
Mycotic diseases are being recognized as an important global public health problem of considerable dimension. These diseases occur in sporadic as well as in epidemic form, resulting in high morbidity and mortality. Among several mycoses, sporotrichosis, caused by a thermo-dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii, has emerged as an infectious disease in certain regions of the world. The pathogen in...
متن کاملCryptococcosis: An Emerging Airborne Mycosis of Global Concern
Cryptococcosis, an emerging highly infectious respiratory mycosis, is mainly caused by Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii, which exist as saprobe in the environment. Currently, nine molecular types, five in C.neoformans and four in C. gattii are identified. The disease occurs in sporadic and epidemic form resulting into significant morbidity and mortality, especially in immunocompr...
