Adiaspiromycosis causing respiratory failure and a review of human infections due to Emmonsia and Chrysosporium spp.
We report a case of a 27-year-old male who presented with respiratory distress that required mechanical ventilation. Transbronchial biopsy revealed adiaspores of the fungus Emmonsia crescens within granulomata, a condition known as adiaspiromycosis. The patient received amphotericin products and corticosteroids, followed by itraconazole, and made a full recovery. Emmonsia crescens is a saprobe ...

mold isolated from pleural fluid and blood of the patient produced velvety, white colonies on Sabouraud dextrose agar (Figure, panel B). D1D2 rDNA sequenc-ing identified the mold as E. parva. Because we found no previous reports of E. parva disseminated infections, we sent the isolate to a reference laboratory (University of Alberta Microfungus Collection and Herbarium, Edmon-ton, Alberta, Cana...

متن کاملNOTE Pathology First detection of adiaspiromycosis in the lungs of a deer
Adiaspiromycosis is a pulmonary infection caused by the soil fungi, Emmonsia crescens and E. parva. It primarily affects small mammals and can range from an asymptomatic condition to fatal disseminated disease. We detected a granuloma containing fungal spherules, which were morphologically consistent with the adiaspores of E. crescens in the lungs of a female Hokkaido sika deer. This is the fir...
