Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis caused byFonsecaea monophora [PDF]
We report a case of cerebral phaeohyphomycosis in a 53-year-old immunocompetent diabetic male, caused by Fonsecaea monophora. Computerized tomography of the brain revealed an abscess, which yielded F. monophora in pure culture. The patient's condition deteriorated on treatment with voriconazole and 5-fluorocytosine, and improved subsequently with high ...

Feline cerebral phaeohyphomycosis associated with Cladosporium bantianurn [PDF]
The brain of an 18-month-old cat that died after developing incoordination and circling had massive hyphal invasion, inflammatory cells, reactive neuroglial cells and liquefactive necrosis. Culture on Sabouraud's dextrose agar at 28 deg yielded a greyish black, velvety fungus with long chains of yellow-brown, oval to elliptical conidia.

Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis: a rare cause of brain abscess. [PDF]
Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis (CP) is a very rare but serious form of central nervous system fungal infection that is caused by dematiaceous fungi. It is commonly associated with poor prognosis irrespective of the immune status of the patient. In this study, the authors describe the first case of CP in Korea that occurred in a 75-year-old man without ...

Cladophialophora bantiana brain abscess and concurrent pulmonary cryptococcus neoformans infection in a patient twenty years after renal transplantation [PDF]
Recipients of solid organ transplants are at risk for a variety of infections due to their immunocompromised status. The types of infections are often correlated to the timing from their transplant. After about six to twelve months, transplant recipients

CEREBRAL PHAEOHYPHOMYCOSIS DUE TO CLADOPHIALOPHORA BANTIANA
Cladophialophora bantiana, a dematiaceous fungus and a member of the family Phaeohyphomycetes, is primarily a neurotropic fungus causing central nervous system (CNS) infection. We report a case of a well preserved, young adult male presenting with a capsuloganglionic abscess caused by C. bantiana, a rare entity. Diagnosis was made based on the mycology

Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis: A rare case from central India. [PDF]
Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis is a rare and frequently fatal disease, often caused by hematogenous spread of pathogens that are inoculated in the skin of the extremities following minor trauma, and its mortality rate is much high despite aggressive treatment. A rare case of 25-year-old immuno-competent man with cerebral abscess has been described.
