Implications of high antifungal susceptibility on Schizophyllum commune-associated allergy in clinical practice.
Chowdhary et al. reported that Schizophyllum commune is the predominant causative antigen of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) (1). In a series of studies regarding Schizophyllum allergy in respiratory disease, they successfully demonstrated the in vitro profiles of the antifungal susceptibility of S. commune (2). Those studies raise questions regarding how the antifungal susceptibility ...
متن کاملTwo cases of Schizophyllum asthma: is this a new clinical entity or a precursor of ABPM?
BACKGROUND There is a close link between fungal sensitization and asthma severity. Although Schizophyllum commune (S. commune, "suehirotake" in Japanese), one of the basidiomycetous (BM) fungi, is a fungus that can cause allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) and allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS), whether the fungus causes or sensitizes subjects to asthma is unclear. METHODS The bronchial pro...
متن کاملIn vitro Antifungal Activities and Phytochemical Analysis of Filamentous White-rot Fungi, Schizophyllum commune
In this study, the in-vitro antifungal activity and phytochemical analysis of Schizophyllum commune extracts have been investigated. The antifungal activity was tested against 11 species of selected wood degrading fungi of rubberwood. The results showed that water, methanol and ethanol extracts significantly inhibited the growth of wood degrading fungi with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC...
متن کاملBrain abscess caused by Schizophyllum commune: an emerging basidiomycete pathogen.
Despite the worldwide distribution and prevalence of Schizophyllum commune, an emerging basidiomycetous pathogen, human infections occur only rarely. We describe the first well-documented pulmonary infection caused by S. commune which disseminated to the brain of a 58-year-old patient undergoing empiric corticosteroid therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging scans revealed ring-enhancing masses. His...
متن کاملSchizophyllum commune-induced allergic fungal rhinosinusitis and sinobronchial mycosis
We present 32- and 38-year-old males with Schizophyllum commune-induced allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS). S. commune-induced AFRS was diagnosed by clinical and radiographic findings, positive specific IgE antibodies against S. commune as measured by the ImmunoCAP system, and sequencing analysis of the fungus. Our two cases with S. commune-induced AFRS for the first time showed evidence for...
