Subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis: a clinicopathological study
Background: Phaeohyphomycosis is a subcutaneous or systemic infection characterized histologically by dark-colored fungal hyphae. With the increasing number of immunocompromised patients, the incidence of the disease has increased recently. The objective of the study is to emphasize the role of histopathology in the diagnosis of phaeohyphomycosis. Methods: The biopsy specimens of seven cases of...
متن کاملRoussoella percutanea, a novel opportunistic pathogen causing subcutaneous mycoses.
We report the isolation of a novel agent of subcutaneous mycosis from a 45-year-old Indian male immigrant in the United States. Phylogenetic analysis of partial small ribosomal subunit and large ribosomal subunit, internal transcribed spacer, partial translation elongation factor (TEF1), and RNA polymerase second largest subunit (rPB2) loci revealed that the strain was identical to another isol...
متن کاملSubcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by Exophiala jeanselmei.
Exophiala jeanselmei, a saprobe in the environment, is an opportunistic pathogen. We present a rare case of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by E jeanselmei in a man aged 66 years with a 3-month history of a tender swelling on the dorsal area of the left middle finger. Purulent fluid was aspirated from the area, and the culture yielded black colonies composed of conidiophores, phialides, a...
متن کاملSubcutaneous Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by Exophiala salmonis
We report a case of subcutaneous infection in a 55-yr-old Korean diabetic patient who presented with a cystic mass of the ankle. Black fungal colonies were observed after culturing on blood and Sabouraud dextrose agar. On microscopic observation, septated ellipsoidal or cylindrical conidia accumulating on an annellide were visualized after staining with lactophenol cotton blue. The organism was...
متن کاملSubcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis: infection with pigmented fungi.
Phaeohyphomycosis falls into a large group of diseases caused by Dematiaceous fungi and is a well known deep fungal infection having a worldwide distribution, but principally localized to the tropics and subtropics. It is broadly categorized into subcutaneous and systemic forms, the latter being more common in the immunocompromised host, often with visceral dissemination, although examples in t...
