چکیده
The Exophiala genus comprises dimorphic melanized fungi responsible for a spectrum of diseases including phaeohyphomycosis, mycetoma, chromoblastomycosis and fungemia. The E. jeanselmei species is predominant in such infections, followed by E. dermatitidis. This paper aims at reporting four cases and at discussing clinical, histologycal, mycologycal and epidemiologycal aspects for its diagnosis.

Melanized fungi are frequently considered as ubiquitous saprobes commonly found on decomposing plant debris, dead plant material, rotten wood, or soil. Over 70 genera and 150 species of dematiaceous fungi have been implicated in human and animal diseases. The clinical syndromes caused by latter fungi are differentiated based on histologic criteria into phaeohyphomycetoma, chromoblastomycosis,...
متن کاملFatal endocarditis in a neonate caused by the dematiaceous fungus Phialemonium obovatum: case report and review of the literature.
Phialemonium species are grouped by most authorities among the dematiaceous fungi. Like several other darkly pigmented fungi, they appear to be an emerging cause of human disease, especially in the immunocompromised host. As numbers of immunocompromised patients increase, the trend of unusual fungi emerging as new pathogens is set to continue. Previous experience suggests that reports of rare f...

Phaeohyphomycosis is a term used to describe infections caused by dematiaceous fungi, i.e. fungi which contain melanin in their cell wall. Cladophialophora bantiana has been implicated to cause brain abscess in immunocompromised patients. Infection caused by Cladophialophora bantiana in an immunocompetent host is relatively rare. Surgical site infection at abdominal subcutaneous tissue caused b...

متن کاملClinical isolates and management
Dematiaceous fungi are darkly pigmented, filamentary moulds and are common in the environment as plant saprophytes and pathogens. Incidental reports of corneal ulcers that have been caused by species of this group have appeared in the literature, but the relative importance of this species as potential comeal pathogens has not been appreciated. As a group, second to Fusarium solani and other mo...
