Fonsecaea pugnacius, a Novel Agent of Disseminated Chromoblastomycosis.
We report a fatal case of a chromoblastomycosis-like infection caused by a novel species of Fonsecaea in a 52-year-old immunocompetent Caucasian male from an area of chromoblastomycosis endemicity in Brazil. The patient had a 30-year history of slowly evolving, verrucous lesions on the right upper arm which gradually affected the entire arm, the left hemifacial area, and the nose. Subsequent di...
متن کاملChromoblastomycosis Caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi
We report herein a case of chromoblastomycosis caused by Fonsecaea (F.) pedrosoi in a 39-year-old male, who showed multiple, asymptomatic, scaly erythematous plaques on the left shin for 12 months. Histopathologically, chronic granulomatous inflammation and either sclerotic or muriform cells were observed. The fungal culture produced typical black colonies of F. pedrosoi. The DNA sequence of th...
متن کاملCorneal Chromoblastomycosis Caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi
PURPOSE To report 2 unusual cases of fungal keratitis due to Fonsecaea pedrosoi. METHODS Two patients were diagnosed with Fonsecaea pedrosoi keratitis. Their files were reviewed for predisposing factors, clinical characteristics, microbiological study, treatment, and outcome. RESULTS Two consecutive patients presented with brownish pigmented corneal ulcers in their eyes after sustaining eye...
متن کاملFonsecaea nubica sp. nov, a new agent of human chromoblastomycosis revealed using molecular data.
A new species of Fonsecaea, Fonsecaea nubica, morphologically similar to F. pedrosoi and F. monophora, is described using multilocus molecular data including AFLP profiles, sequences of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITS), and partial sequences of the cell division cycle (cdc42), beta-tubulin (tub1) and actin (act1) genes. A phylogenetic approach was used to evaluate species delimi...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Fonsecaea nubica Strain CBS 269.64, Causative Agent of Human Chromoblastomycosis
On the basis of multilocus phylogenetic data, Fonsecaea nubica was described in 2010 as a molecular sibling of F. monophora, an established agent of the human skin disease chomoblastomycosis in tropical zones. Genome analysis of these pathogens is mandatory to identify genes involved in the interaction with host and virulence.
