CARD9 deficiency predisposing chromoblastomycosis: A case report and comparative transcriptome study

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
CARD9 mutations are known to predispose patients to phaeohyphomycosis caused by different dematiaceous fungal species. In this study, we report for the first time a patient of chromoblastomycosis caused by Phialophora expanda, who harbored CARD9 mutation.

Subcutaneous dematiaceous fungal infection

Dermatology Online Journal, 2011
Subcutaneous dematiaceous fungal infections, which include chromoblastomycosis and phaeohyphomycosis, are a heterogeneous group of clinical entities that are caused by dematiaceous or pigmented fungi found in soil. These infections have a wide spectrum of clinical presentations that depend largely on the specific causative organism and on the integrity
