A Rare Case of Onychomycosis Induced by Cladosporium Cladosporioides
The dematiaceous fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides (C. cladosporioides) is a widely distributed saprophyte that occasionally infects the lung, skin, eye and brain in both immunocompetent or immunosuppressed hosts. We report a rare case of an immunocompetent 56-year-old male patient who presents with a six-year history of onychomycosis caused by C. cladosporioides following trauma. The patient...
متن کاملProteome Analysis of Pathogen-Responsive Proteins from Apple Leaves Induced by the Alternaria Blotch Alternaria alternata
Understanding the defence mechanisms used by apple leaves against Alternaria alternate pathogen infection is important for breeding purposes. To investigate the ultrastructural differences between leaf tissues of susceptible and resistant seedlings, in vitro inoculation assays and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis were conducted with two different inoculation assays. The results i...

متن کاملA review of Alternaria alternata sensitivity.
Sensitivity to fungi is a major risk factor for the development of asthma. However, the prevalence of fungal sensitivity in asthma is not completely understood. Nonetheless upward of 80% of asthmatic patients may be sensitized to one or more fungi. Fungal exposure occurs primarily from outdoors sources, but can occur in the indoor environment as well. Assessment of fungal exposure requires a mu...
متن کاملThe Alternaria alternata Mycotoxin Alternariol Suppresses Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammation
The Alternaria mycotoxins alternariol (AOH) and alternariol monomethyl ether (AME) have been shown to possess genotoxic and cytotoxic properties. In this study, the ability of AOH and AME to modulate innate immunity in the human bronchial epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B) and mouse macrophage cell line (RAW264.7) were investigated. During these studies, it was discovered that AOH and to a lesser e...
