Fungemia due toExophiala dermatitidis [PDF]
We report a rare case of fungemia due to Exophiala (Wangiella) dermatitidis in a 4-month-old female infant who was admitted to an intensive care unit with sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). E. dermatitidiswas repeatedly isolated from blood cultures (on the 28th and 32nd day of hospitalization) of the patient, who died on the 44th day of ...

Widespread Verrucous Plaques of Chromoblastomycosis: A 12‐Year Diagnostic Odyssey
ABSTRACT Chromoblastomycosis is a deep fungal infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. This case underscores the critical importance of thorough laboratory investigations, particularly histopathology, in chronic dermatological conditions that mimic other granulomatous diseases.

Rare Infectious Diseases: Detection and Clinical Implications
Rare infectious diseases are infections that are uncommon, have a low incidence, and are caused by newly emerging pathogens, cross‐species or ectopic infections, or host immunodeficiencies. The detection and diagnosis of rare infections is one of the main reasons for misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Exophiala dermatitidis fungal infective endocarditis on prosthetic mitral valve
Fungal infective endocarditis, although rare, carries a high mortality risk. We present a case of successful multidisciplinary management of Exophiala dermatitidis infective endocarditis in an immunocompetent male with a bio-prosthetic mitral valve. This case highlights the clinical presentation and provides valuable treatment insights into this rare ...

Identification of Filamentous Fungi: An Evaluation of Three MALDI‐TOF Mass Spectrometry Systems
ABSTRACT Background Identification of filamentous fungi still poses a major challenge to laboratories. Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS) is a promising tool, since it offers low‐cost and fast results. Different MALDI‐TOF MS systems are available for routine laboratories.
