چکیده
This report describes the first isolation of Schizophyllum commune from a granulomatous lesion on the neck of a dog. The biopsy specimen from the lesion disclosed granulomatous inflammation with branching fungal hyphae without clamp connections. The clinical isolate was identified as S. commune by mycological examination and analysis of ribosomal DNA sequences.

Molecular Identification of Schizophyllum commune as a Cause of Allergic Fungal Sinusitis
Schizophyllum commune, a basidiomycetous fungus, rarely causes disease in humans. We report a rare case of allergic fungal sinusitis caused by S. commune in a 14-yr-old girl. The patient presented with nasal obstruction and a purulent nasal discharge. Materials obtained during endoscopic surgery of the frontal recess revealed allergic mucin and a few fungal hyphae. A potato dextrose agar (PDA) ...

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...
متن کاملImplications 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 ...
