Invasive Fungal Infection with Absidia Corymbifera in Immunocompetent Patient with Electrical Scalp Burn
Invasive fungal infection in burn injury is caused by inoculation of fungal spore from patient skin, respiratory tract or from care giver. The risk factors for acquiring fungal infection in burns include age of burns, total burn size, full thickness burns, inhalational injury, prolonged hospital stay, late surgical excision, open dressing, central venous catheters, antibiotics, steroid treatmen...
متن کاملSoft tissue infection with Absidia corymbifera in a patient with idiopathic aplastic anemia.
We describe a case of primary cutaneous mucormycosis (zygomycosis) in a patient with idiopathic aplastic anemia which responded to surgical debridement and therapy with liposomal amphotericin B. The tissue removed at surgery showed dense infiltration with fungal hyphae on histopathological examination. Primary cultures of tissue on solid media were negative, but Absidia corymbifera was isolated...
متن کاملSino-oral zygomycosis due to Absidia corymbifera in a patient with acute leukemia.
Fungi belonging to class Zygomycetes become pathogenic in certain predisposing conditions; principally diabetes mellitus, immunosuppression, trauma or burns. We report a case of a 31-year-old man with acute promyelocytic leukemia who developed infection of the sino-oral cavity, due to Absidia corymbifera during a neutropenic phase following induction chemotherapy. A provisional diagnosis of zyg...
متن کاملComparative virulence of Absidia corymbifera strains in mice.
The comparative virulence of six different strains of Absidia corymbifera for cortisone-treated and untreated Swiss mice was determined. Spores of the six strains were inoculated into mice by the intravenous, intraperitoneal, and intranasal routes. All six strains were found to be virulent in cortisone-treated and untreated mice by the intravenous route. Up to a 16-fold difference in strain vir...
متن کاملSequential pathological studies in Asian water buffaloes infected intratracheally with Absidia corymbifera.
Zygomycosis was produced experimentally in Asian water buffalo calves (Bubalus bubalis) by intratracheal inoculation of sporangiospores of Absidia corymbifera. Infected animals exhibited dullness, depression, partial anorexia, initial pyrexia, mucopurulent nasal and ocular discharge and coughing during the first week. There was no mortality at any stage of the experiment, which continued for 30...
