Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by a Novel Species, Pseudochaetosphaeronema martinelli.
Among the opportunistic mycoses that are emerging in patients with immunosuppression or severe underlying illness, many isolates lack of characteristic sporulation and until recently could not be identified. Clinical signs are mostly nonspecific and therefore such infections have often been disregarded. In the present paper we describe a novel, nonsporulating fungal species causing subcutaneous...
متن کاملPhaeohyphomycosis caused by Exophiala species in immunocompromised hosts.
Exophiala species are rarely implicated in clinical diseases. In the past 2 years, we have treated phaeohyphomycosis caused by Exophiala species in three immunocompromised patients. Two of these patients presented with subcutaneous abscess or cutaneous verrucous lesions due to Exophiala jeanselmei. The former, an 81-year-old woman, had pulmonary tuberculosis and the latter, a 62-year-old man, h...
متن کاملPhaeohyphomycosis caused by Phaeoacremonium inflatipes.
Phaeoacremonium inflatipes, one of three species previously classified as strains of Phialophora parasitica, was identified as the causal agent of a subcutaneous infection of the left foot of an 83-year-old woman from South Carolina. The patient had a granulomatous growth over the anteromedial aspect of her left foot. It was surgically excised, which led to complete healing without complication...

متن کاملCutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by Alternaria infectoria.
Organ transplant recipients under immunosuppressive therapy have a highly increased risk of acquiring unusual opportunistic fungal infections. Therefore, diagnostics for uncharacteristic inflammatory skin lesions in transplant recipients must include an appropriate search for fungi. We recently diagnosed a renal transplant recipient with a cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis due to Alternaria infectori...
