Chromoblastomycosis caused by Cladophialophora carrionii in a child from India.
Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic fungal infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It usually occurs following trauma with vegetative matter and mainly affects middle-aged male agricultural workers. Only a few cases have been reported in children. The lesions commonly involve the lower limbs, while the upper limbs and face are only rarely affected. We report a case of cutaneous chromoblasto...
متن کاملChromoblastomycosis (possibly Cladosporium) of the breast in an English woman.
A case is reported of an English woman who presented with a mass in the breast which was locally excised. Histological studies revealed a giant-cell granulomatous inflammation involving the duct system and a fungus showing brown pigmentation was demonstrated in the lesions. This was not grown in culture but the morphological appearance suggested classification in the genus Cladosporium. The rel...
متن کاملIn vitro antifungal susceptibility of Cladophialophora carrionii, an agent of human chromoblastomycosis.
A global collection of Cladophialophora carrionii strains (n = 81) was tested against nine antifungal drugs. MIC90s of all strains were as follows in increasing order: itraconazole and posaconazole, 0.063 μg/ml; terbinafine, 0.125 μg/ml; isavuconazole and voriconazole, 0.25 μg/ml; caspofungin, 2 μg/ml; micafungin, 4 μg/ml; amphotericin B, 8 μg/ml; and fluconazole, 64 μg/ml.
متن کاملHistopathology and antifungal treatment of experimental murine chromoblastomycosis caused by Cladophialophora carrionii.
OBJECTIVES A murine model of chromoblastomycosis caused by Cladophialophora carrionii was used to compare the efficacy of posaconazole and voriconazole with that of terbinafine and itraconazole, the currently used drugs in the management of chromoblastomycosis. METHODS Athymic nude mice were infected with 2 × 10(7) cfu of a clinical isolate of C. carrionii. When typical lesions were establish...
متن کاملThree isothermal amplification techniques for rapid identification of Cladophialophora carrionii, an agent of human chromoblastomycosis.
In this study, we developed rapid and sensitive assays for the detection of Cladophialophora carrionii, a common agent of human chromoblastomycosis. The isothermal techniques evaluated were rolling-circle amplification (RCA), multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). The probes for RCA and MLPA were designed with target sequences...
