Chromoblastomycosis 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 کاملDetection of delayed hypersensitivity to Fonsecaea pedrosoi metabolic antigen (chromomycin).
An experimental study was conducted between January 2002 and April 2003 for the detection of delayed hypersensitivity to Fonsecaea pedrosoi metabolic antigen (chromomycin) in skin tests. A total of 194 subjects were attended by spontaneous demand at the Infectious and Parasitic Diseases outpatient clinic of the Federal University of Maranhão-UFMA and at the Department of Microbiology, Federal U...

متن کاملAn unusual case of mediastinal mass due to Fonsecaea pedrosoi.
Phaeohyphomycosis is a disease caused by dematiaceous fungi. Here, the first culture-proven case of mediastinal mass due to Fonsecaea pedrosoi is reported. The patient was a 40-yr-old male who had presented with history of dyspnoea and dysphagia. Computed tomography of the chest disclosed a mediastinal mass. Cultures of a specimen from the mediastinum grew Fonsecaea pedrosoi. The patient receiv...
متن کاملDevelopment of natural culture media for rapid induction of Fonsecaea pedrosoi sclerotic cells in vitro.
Fonsecaea pedrosoi is the main agent of chromoblastomycosis, a skin disease presenting verrucous lesions, in which round, thick-walled sclerotic cells are found. In vitro induction of sclerotic cells is time-consuming (20 to 45 days) and temperature dependent. We present two new natural media that reduce the sclerotic-cell induction time to only 2 days.
