Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis: Case report

Neuropathology, 2011
Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis is a rare and frequently fatal disease. This disease is often caused by hematogenous spread of pathogens that are inoculated in the skin of the extremities after slight or minor trauma, and its mortality rate is rather high despite aggressive treatment. Our patient presented with headache and pyrexia.

Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis caused byXylohypha bantiana

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1989
Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis is a rare fungal infection of man. There are approximately 53 published cases to date. Xylohypha bantiana has been shown by histology or culture to be the aetiological agent in 28 of these cases. Two cases of cerebral abscess caused by Xylohypha bantiana are presented.

Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis mimics high-grade astrocytoma

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2008
The incidence of cerebral phaeohyphomycosis, an infection caused by a dark-pigmented fungus, is increasing. The infection may mimic a high-grade glioma clinically and radiographically. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy may be helpful in differentiating the two.

Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis—a cure at what lengths?

The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2009
Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis is a fungal infection of the brain typically caused by Cladophialophora bantiana, Exophiala dermatitidis, and Rhinocladiella mackenziei, all of which belong to the order Chaetothyriales. The disease results in black, necrotic brain tissue, black pus, and black cerebrospinal fluid. Pathogens usually reach the brain through the

Cerebral Phaeohyphomycosis in a Green Iguana (Iguana iguana)

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2010
Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis was diagnosed in a 4-year-old green iguana (Iguana iguana) with paroxysmal spastic paralysis of all limbs and circling motion.

Cladosporiosis (Cerebral Phaeohyphomycosis) of brain ? a case report

Mycopathologia, 1989
A case of cerebral cladosporiosis caused by Cladosporium trichoides (bantianum) now known as Xylohypha bantiana is described and illustrated. Predisposing debilitating diseases were not detectable. The Cladosporiosis diagnosis was based on visualisation of hyphal element in direct Gram's stain, direct KOH preparate of pus from brain abscess and on ...
