Coelomycetous fungi in human disease. A review: Clinical entities, pathogenesis, identification and therapy.

چکیده
Coelomycetes are being recovered with increasing frequency in human disease. They are frequently acquired by traumatic implantation and are of concern in profoundly immunosuppressed individuals. A definition of this group of organisms is provided, along with their clinical manifestations, methods for laboratory diagnosis, criteria for identification, in vitro susceptibility data, and guidelines for antifungal therapy and management.

In Japan, dacrymycetous fungi had not been investigated for a long time, justifying a taxonomic re-examination. In the present study we attempted an investigation of the dacrymycetous fungal flora of Japan, and reco...
