Schizophyllum commune-induced allergic fungal rhinosinusitis and sinobronchial mycosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present 32- and 38-year-old males with Schizophyllum commune-induced allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS). S. commune-induced AFRS was diagnosed by clinical and radiographic findings, positive specific IgE antibodies against S. commune as measured by the ImmunoCAP system, and sequencing analysis of the fungus. Our two cases with S. commune-induced AFRS for the first time showed evidence for type 1 hypersensitivity to S. commune as determined by using specific IgE antibodies against S. commune, and the fungus was identified by sequence analysis.

Nasal polyposis and fungal Schizophyllum commune infection: a case report.
We present a rare case of eosinophilic fungal rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in a 32-year-old woman caused by basidiomycete fungus Schizophyllum commune. Diagnosis was done by the endoscopic nasal examination, computed tomography (CT) of the paranasal sinuses, the histopathological examination of polyps, the presence of eosinophils and fungal hyphae in nasal mucus and by the detection of S. c...
متن کاملTwo cases of Schizophyllum asthma: is this a new clinical entity or a precursor of ABPM?
BACKGROUND There is a close link between fungal sensitization and asthma severity. Although Schizophyllum commune (S. commune, "suehirotake" in Japanese), one of the basidiomycetous (BM) fungi, is a fungus that can cause allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) and allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS), whether the fungus causes or sensitizes subjects to asthma is unclear. METHODS The bronchial pro...

متن کاملMolecular Identification of Schizophyllum commune as a Cause of Allergic Fungal Sinusitis
Schizophyllum commune, a basidiomycetous fungus, rarely causes disease in humans. We report a rare case of allergic fungal sinusitis caused by S. commune in a 14-yr-old girl. The patient presented with nasal obstruction and a purulent nasal discharge. Materials obtained during endoscopic surgery of the frontal recess revealed allergic mucin and a few fungal hyphae. A potato dextrose agar (PDA) ...
متن کاملImplications of high antifungal susceptibility on Schizophyllum commune-associated allergy in clinical practice.
Chowdhary et al. reported that Schizophyllum commune is the predominant causative antigen of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) (1). In a series of studies regarding Schizophyllum allergy in respiratory disease, they successfully demonstrated the in vitro profiles of the antifungal susceptibility of S. commune (2). Those studies raise questions regarding how the antifungal susceptibility ...
