Deep Mycoses and Fungemia.

an overview on the global frequency of superficial/cutaneous mycoses and deep mycoses

Some deep mycoses diagnosed by histopathology in South Eastern Nigeria.

Twenty-three cases of deep mycoses were histologically diagnosed in 6500 surgical biopsy specimens examined during a three year period (1985-1988) in the Department of Pathology, University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar, Nigeria. These included 12 cases of African histoplasmosis, four of mycetoma, four of actinomycetoma, two of paranasal aspergilloma, and one of zygomycosis due to Conid...

Deep mycoses in patients with abnormal chest X ray findings.

Deep mycoses were first reported in Venezuela early in this century, when the Venezuelan medical literature began registering the occurrence of mycetomas caused by Actinomyces and Eumycetes (I-4). The earliest literature on confirmed cases of sporotrichosis appeared in the 1930s (5L 6, 7), when the existence of paracoccidioidomycosis (8, 9, 10) and chromomycosis (11, 12) was also demonstrated. ...

Medical mycology as part of medical microbiology is advancing rapidly. Effective therapeutic strategies are already available in chemotherapy and are being further developed. Their application requires reliable laboratory diagnostic techniques, which, in turn, result from mycological basic research. Opportunistic mycoses vary greatly in their clinical and pathological symptoms, because the unde...
