Fusarium napiforme systemic infection: case report with molecular characterization and antifungal susceptibility tests
INTRODUCTION During the last decades, Fusarium spp. has been reported as a significant cause of disease in humans, especially in immunocompromised patients, who have high risk of invasive life-threatening disease. Fusarium species usually reported as cause of human disease are F. solani, F. oxysporum and F. verticillioides. CASE DESCRIPTION We describe the second case in the literature of dis...
متن کاملIn vitro antifungal susceptibility and molecular characterization of clinical isolates of Fusarium verticillioides (F. moniliforme) and Fusarium thapsinum.
A microdilution method was used to test 11 antifungal drugs against clinical isolates of Fusarium thapsinum and three different phylogenetic clades of Fusarium verticillioides that were characterized by sequencing a region of the beta-tubulin gene. Terbinafine was the most-active drug against both species, followed by posaconazole against F. verticillioides.
متن کاملMolecular identification and in-vitro antifungal susceptibility testing of Candida species isolated from patients with onychomycosis
Background and Purpose: Candida species are the most opportunistic fungi affecting the nails and resulting in onychomycosis. In this study, we identified and evaluated in-vitro susceptibility of the recovered isolates against fluconazole (FLC), voriconazole (VRC), and clotrimazole (CLT) using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) M27-A3 document. Materials and Method...
متن کاملCerebral infection caused by Cryptococcus gattii: a case report and antifungal susceptibility testing.
We report a clinical case of cerebral infection caused by Cryptococcus gattii in a 10 year-old boy. Clinical and laboratory exams did not demonstrate any apparent immunosuppressed state (HIV antibody and the tuberculin skin tests, both negative, were performed; blood cells count and immunoglobulin levels were within normality). Treatment was begun with amphotericin B-deoxycholate but renal toxi...
متن کاملMicroscopic Evaluation, Molecular Identification, Antifungal Susceptibility, and Clinical Outcomes in Fusarium, Aspergillus and, Dematiaceous Keratitis
PURPOSE Fusarium, Aspergillus, and Dematiaceous are the most common fungal species causing keratitis in tropical countries. Herein we report a prospective study on fungal keratitis caused by these three fungal species. METHODOLOGY A prospective investigation was undertaken to evaluate eyes with presumed fungal keratitis. All the fungal isolates (n = 73) obtained from keratitis infections were...
