The medically important dematiaceous fungi and their identification
Mycoses, 1991Summary.Dematiaceous fungi include a large group of organisms that are darkly pigmented (dark brown, olivaceous, or black). In most cases the pigment is melanin, and specifically, dihydroxyna‐phthalene melanin. The diseases produced include chromoblastomycosis, eumycotic mycetoma, and phaeohyphomycosis.

SummaryDematiaceous fungi are responsible for a wide variety of infectious syndromes. They are often found in soil and generally distributed worldwide. This suggests that most if not all individuals are exposed to them, presumably from inhalation or trauma. In recent years, these fungi have been increasingly recognised as important pathogens.

Abstract The dematiaceous fungal pathogens, classified by their darkly pigmented hyphae, cause infection in both immunosuppressed and immunocompetent individuals. Infections may present as chromoblastomycosis, mycetoma, and a spectrum of phaeohyphomycoses varying in severity.

Practical evaluation of antigenic relationships of yeastlike dematiaceous fungi
Medical Mycology, 1967Thirty-eight strains of yeastlike dematiaceous fungi were studied serologically, using the methods of yeast cell agglutination, agglutinin absorption, and immunodiffusion. Antisera were obtained from rabbits immunized with the yeast phases of known cultures of Cladosporium werneckii, Hormodendrum dermatitidis, Phialophora jeanselmei, Pullularia ...

Therapy of infections caused by dematiaceous fungi
Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2005Dematiaceous fungi are responsible for a wide variety of clinical syndromes, from local infections due to trauma, to disseminated infection in immunocompromised patients. These fungi are unique owing to the presence of melanin in their cell walls, which imparts the characteristic dark color to their spores and hyphae.

In vitro evaluation of terbinafine and itraconazole against dematiaceous fungi
Medical Mycology, 1998Two hundred and three isolates representing 15 species of filamentous ascomycetes were evaluated against terbinafine and itraconazole using a modification of the NCCLS M27-A standard reference method for yeasts. The MIC ranges and geometric means were similar, although terbinafine tended to have the lowest values. The loculoIascomycete clade tested had

Physiological Characteristics of Environmental Isolates of Pathogenic Dematiaceous Fungi
Mycoses, 1989Summary: A total of 39 environmental isolates of pathogenic dematiaceous fungi (Fonsecaea pedrosoi: 14 isolates, Phialo‐phora verrucosa: 6, Cladosporium carrionii: 9, Exophiala jeanselmei: 2, Ramichlo‐ridium subulatum: 6, Cladosporium tenuis‐simum: 1 and Phaeoisaria clematidis: 1) were evaluated for their various physiological characteristics ...

[Therapy of infections caused by dematiaceous fungi].
Mycoses, 1997Since dematiaceous fungi belong to the group of rare infectious agents causing mycoses, therapeutic recommendations are mainly deduced from observations of single cases. In cases of eumycetoma or focal phaeohyphomycoses of the central nervous system (e.g.

Ocular infections with dematiaceous fungi in two cats and a dog
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1998Clinical signs and histologic findings associated with dematiaceous fungal infections of the ocular tissues can be variable. Dematiaceous fungi should be considered in the differential diagnoses list of exogenous causes of ocular infections, such as endophthalmitis, orbital cellulitis, and keratitis.

Antimycotic therapy of experimental infections caused by dematiaceous fungi
Medical Mycology, 1984Experimental infections of mice with Wangiella dermatitidis and Fonsecaea pedrosoi provided a model for evaluating new antifungal agents or new combination therapy. In our models flucytosine exerted a dose-related therapeutic effect on the acute and on the more chronic infection.
