Ultrastructural characterization of melanosomes of the human pathogenic fungus Fonsecaea pedrosoi

Journal of Structural Biology, 2008
Melanin is a complex polymer widely distributed in nature and has been described as an important virulence factor in pathogenic fungi. In the majority of fungi, the mechanism of melanin formation remains unclear. In Fonsecaea pedrosoi, the major etiologic agent of chromoblastomycosis, melanin is stored in intracellular vesicles, named melanosomes. This

ITRACONAZOLE IN THE TREAMENT OF CHROMOBLASTOMYCOSIS DUE TO FONSECAEA PEDROSOI

International Journal of Dermatology, 1992
AbstractThe efficacy and tolerability of itraconazole in chromoblastomycosis due to Fonsecaea pedrosoi were evaluated in a non‐comparative open clinical trial in 19 Brazilian patients with histopathologically and mycologically proven active chromoblastomycosis. Patients were classified in terms of severity and received itraconazole at the dosage of 200

Cell-mediated immune responses in mice infected with fonsecaea pedrosoi

Mycopathologia, 1979
Time course of cellular and humoral immune responses in mice infected with Fonsecaea pedrosoi was investigated by using an antigen prepared from culture filtrate of this fungus. Mice were infected by intravenous injection with yeast-like cells of the fungus.

Primary mycotic abscess of the brain caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1995
✓ A case of cerebral abscess caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi is reported in a nonimmunocompromised, 15-year-old boy. In the absence of a primary cutaneous lesion, this fungus was considered to be a primary neuropathogen. The fungus was cultured and characterized from the abscess material obtained at surgery.

Putative role of an ABC transporter in Fonsecaea pedrosoi multidrug resistance

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2012
Fonsecaea pedrosoi, a dematiaceous fungus, is the main agent responsible for chromoblastomycosis, a chronic and progressive mycosis of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. This disease can cause different types of lesions depending on the immune status of the host.

Skin test-active substance prepared from culture filtrate of Fonsecaea pedrosoi

Mycopathologia, 1979
Ethanol-precipitated substance (EP) was prepared from culture filtrate of Fonsecaea pedrosoi. EP was separated into two components by passing through a Sephadex G-50 column; the faster passing component was referred to as EP-1, the slower as EP-2. EP-1 and EP-2 were evaluated as an antigen for detecting cutaneous delayed hypersensitivity in patients ...

Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi in Saudi Arabia.

APMIS. Supplementum, 1988
A case of cerebral phaeohyphomycosis (CPM) in a 70-yr-old Saudi male was diagnosed recently at King Khalid University Hospital in Riyadh. Computerized tomography (CT) scans of the patient's brain unveiled 2 abscesses in the left frontal and a 3rd abscess in the right frontal lobes.

Fonsecaea pedrosoi isolated from skin crusts of Bowen's disease.

Mycoses, 1995
Fonsecaea pedrosoi was isolated from scaly crusts of plaque lesions on the left thigh of a 60-year-old Japanese man. Histological examination confirmed these lesions to be due to Bowen's disease, and sclerotic cells were recognized in the stratum corneum.
