Onychomycosis caused by Blastoschizomyces capitatus.
Blastoschizomyces capitatus was cultured from the nail of a healthy patient with onychomycosis. The identity of the isolate was initially established by standard methods and ultrastructural analysis and was verified by molecular probing. Strains ATCC 200929, ATCC 62963, and ATCC 62964 served as reference strains for these analyses. To our knowledge, this is the first case of nail infection seco...
متن کاملEmergence of Blastoschizomyces capitatus Yeast Infections, Central Europe
We report 5 cases of disseminated infection caused by Blastoschizomyces capitatus yeast in central Switzerland. The emergence of this yeast in an area in which it is not known to be endemic should alert clinicians caring for immunocompromised patients outside the Mediterranean region to consider infections caused by unfamiliar fungal pathogens.
متن کاملFatal Blastoschizomyces capitatus sepsis in a diabetic patient with sinusitis
Blastoschizomyces capitatus is an emerging fungal pathogen. We describe a case of fungal sinusitis and invasive fungal septicemia due to B. capitatus in a 65-year-old male patient who was a known cardiac and diabetic patient. The patient was treated with antibiotics but succumbed due to delay in treatment with amphotericin-B. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2012; 2(4): 165-167
متن کاملOnychomycosis Caused by Chaetomium globosum
Onychomycosis is usually caused by dermatophytes, but some nondermatophytic molds and yeasts are also associated with invasion of nails. The genus Chaetomium is a dematiaceous nondermatophytic mold found in soil and plant debris as a saprophytic fungus. We report the first Korean case of onychomycosis caused by Chaetomium globosum in a 35-year-old male. The patient showed brownish-yellow discol...
متن کاملImmunoblot analysis of the serological response in invasive Trichosporon beigelii and Blastoschizomyces capitatus infections.
The serological response to Trichosporon sp. was examined by the immunoblot technique. Antibodies to a range of antigens (200 to 16 kilodaltons) were detectable in three patients with invasive Trichosporon beigelii or Blastoschizomyces capitatus infections and 10 uninfected controls. High levels of preexisting antibodies may contribute to the rarity of systemic infections.
