A case of Conidiobolus coronatus in the vagina.
Conidiobolus coronatus is a zygomycete that commonly involves the rhinomaxillary area in humans and animals. Infections are reported mostly from West Africa and South East Asia. Vaginal involvement in humans has not been described before. We report a case of C. coronatus infection involving the vagina that was successfully treated.
متن کاملRhino facial zygomycosis: case report
Zygomycosis is an invasive disease that affects both immunocompetent and immunocompromised, depending on the type of strain. This disease diagnosis is clinical and histopathological, and its treatment is based on antifungal therapy and surgical cleaning. This paper reports a case of a boy with invasive zygomycosis rinofacial who final treatment was successful after underwent antifungal and surg...
متن کاملA Rare Case of Rhinofacial Zygomycosis due to Conidiobolus Infection
Background: Rhinofacial zygomycosis is the infection of subcutaneous tissues of maxillofacial region caused by zygomycetes class of fungi. It is commonly caused by the order mucorales and is acute and fulminant. Infections by the order entomophthorales are rare but indolent. Case report: We report an unusual case of rhinofacial zygo mycosis due to Conidiobolus coronatus of the order Entomo ph...
متن کاملCuticular fatty acids of Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera) inhibit fungal enzymatic activities of pathogenic Conidiobolus coronatus
The entomopathogenic fungus Conidiobolus coronatus produces enzymes that may hydrolyze the cuticle of Galleria mellonella. Of these enzymes, elastase activity was the highest: this figure being 24 times higher than NAGase activity 553 times higher than chitinase activity and 1844 times higher than lipase activity. The present work examines the differences in the hydrolysis of cuticles taken fro...
متن کاملRecovery of Silver from Waste X-ray Film by Alkaline Protease from Conidiobolus Coronatus
The waste X-ray/ photographic films contain 1.5 2 % (w/w) black metallic silver which is recovered and reused. Around 18-20% of the world's silver needs are supplied by recycling photographic waste. Since silver is linked to gelatin in the emulsion layer, it is possible to break the same and release the silver using proteolytic enzymes. Alkaline protease from Conidiobolus coronatus was investig...
