First description of a local Coprinopsis cinerea skin and soft tissue infection

چکیده
Coprinopsis cinerea is an environmental fungus which can cause disseminated infections in immunocompromised patients, often leading to death. Here we report the case of a paediatric patient with an invasive wound infection due to C. cinerea, which was successfully treated with surgical debridement and oral posaconazole.

Epithelialization Over a Scaffold of Antibiotic-Impregnated PMMA Beads: A Salvage Technique for Open Tibial Fractures with Bone and Soft Tissue Loss When all Else Fails
The management of soft tissue defects in tibial fractures is essential for limb preservation. Current techniques are not without complications and may lead to poor functional outcomes. A salvage method is described using three illustrative cases whereby a combination of flaps and antibiotic-impregnated polymethylmethacrylate beads are employed to fill the bony defect, fight the infection, and...
متن کاملThe Coprinopsis cinerea Tup1 homologue Cag1 is required for gill formation during fruiting body morphogenesis
The pileus (cap) of the fruiting body in homobasidiomycete fungi bears the hymenium, a layer of cells that includes the basidia where nuclear fusion, meiosis and sporulation occur. Coprinopsis cinerea is a model system for studying fruiting body development. The hymenium of C. cinerea forms at the surface of the gills in the pileus. In a previous study, we identified a mutation called cap-growt...

Figure 1. Mature Coprinopsis cinerea mushrooms fruiting in a deep Petri dish. (Photo courtesy of Hajime Muraguchi.) What is Coprinopsis cinerea? Coprinopsis cinerea is a small mushroom that has attracted the attention of geneticists and cytologists — and also, apparently, taxonomists, as the species has undergone five name changes in the last 30 years, most recently from Coprinus cinereus to Co...
متن کاملFrequency of Minor Skin and Soft Tissue Complications in Facial and Periorbital Area after Septorhinoplasty
Introduction: High prevalence of rhinoplasty in the community and lack of structured studies about its minor skin and soft tissue complications, point out the necessity of performing precise and comprehensive studies. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of minor cutaneous and soft tissue complications of rhinoplasty. Materials and Methods: 110 patients (30 Male and 80 Female, ...
متن کاملFungal photobiology: a synopsis
Fungi respond and adapt to many environmental signals including light. The photobiology of fungi has been extensively investigated, but in recent years the identification of the first fungal photoreceptor, WC-1 in the ascomycete Neurospora crassa, and the discovery that similar photoreceptors are required for photoreception in other ascomycete, basidiomycete and zygomycete fungi has allowed the...
