sporotrichosis is a chronic subcutaneous fungal infection with global distribution. it is a rare fungal infection with nine reported cases in iran, including eight humans and one animal, within the past 30 years. among the human cases, seven were of the fixed cutaneous type of sporotrichosis and one had sporotrichoid lymphocutaneous. the reported patients were within the age range of 23-60 year...

  Background and Objective: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most common chronic diseases. In the past decades, there has been an increase in fungal infections of sinuses and fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS) has been diagnosed more frequently. Knowing the fungal flora and its prevalence in CRS patients will allow a better understanding of this disease, permitting a correct diagnosis, trea...

Sixty-two adults who underwent orthotopic liver transplantations between February 1981 and June 1983 were followed for a mean of 170 days after the operation. Twenty-six patients developed 30 episodes of significant fungal infection. Candida species and Torulopsis glabrata were responsible for 22 episodes and Aspergillus species for 6. Most fungal infections occurred in the first month after tr...

Opportunistic fungal pathogens live in soil as saprobes. They become pathogenic when the immune system of the host is compromised or suppressed. Present investigation is a case study carried out on a 65 years old patient suffering from acute skin infection in the lower part of the leg. Fungal samples were isolated from the patient suffering from acute skin infection in the lower part of leg. Al...

Introduction: Concha bullosa is the most common variation of the middle turbinate of the paranasal sinuses. When it causes nasal obstruction, osteomeatal unit dysfunction, or rarely chronic infection, surgery is required.   Case Report: We present a fungal infection of concha bullosa, which is a rare indication for surgery of the concha bullosa. A 59-year-old female patient presented with hemif...

background and purpose: fusariosis is a fungal infection often involving the skin. various species can cause local, focally invasive, or disseminated infections. the routes of entry for fusarium species include the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, toe nails, trauma to the skin, and indwelling central venous catheter. case report: herein, we present the case of a 35-year-old woman pres...

Broiler digestive tract fungal communities have gained far less scrutiny than that given corresponding bacterial communities. Attention given poultry-associated fungi have focused primarily on feed-associated toxin-producers, yeast, and yeast products. The current project focused on the use of pyrosequencing and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) to identify and monitor broiler dige...
