Identification of Dematiaceous Fungi and Their Role in Human Disease [PDF]
Phaeohyphomycosis is the disease caused by the dematiaceous hyphomycetes or those fungi that are darkly pigmented because of the presence of melanin in their cell wall. Infections with these fungi may remain localized at the site of traumatic inoculation or within the sinuses or may become disseminated. As these fungi pose a significant problem to both
