Chromoblastomycosis due to Fonsecaea pedrosoi and F. monophora in Cuba

Mycopathologia, 2013
We report two cases of chromoblastomycosis due to Fonsecaea pedrosoi and F. monophora in otherwise healthy Cuban males. Direct microscopic examination of biopsies revealed muriform cells, the hallmark of chromoblastomycosis. The suspected agents were recovered in culture, identified on the basis of morphological criteria and confirmed by sequencing of ...

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

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.

Case Report: A Case of Chromoblastomycosis Caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi in Vietnam

Mycopathologia, 2018
Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic fungal infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues caused by different melanized fungi. The disease occurs worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions but not reported in Vietnam. A 47-year-old women was admitted to hospital 103, Hanoi, Vietnam, with a 10-year lasting lesion on backside of her right ...

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

Exoantigen test for Cladosporium bantianum, Fonsecaea pedrosoi, and Phialophora verrucosa

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1986
Exoantigens from 10-day-old cultures of 100 isolates of pathogenic and saprophytic dematiaceous fungi were analyzed by the exoantigen test. Antisera to Cladosporium bantianum ATCC 10958, Fonsecaea pedrosoi CDC AMO-B06, and Phialophora verrucosa CDC AMO-C12 were prepared in New Zealand rabbits immunized with soluble antigens from 1-month-old cultures ...

Heat-shock response in Fonsecaea pedrosoi, a pathogenic fungus

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1992
Using two-dimensional electrophoresis we have investigated the heat-shock response in a pathogenic fungus, Fonsecaea pedrosoi. Fungal cultures were transferred from 37 to 45 °C for either 30 or 90 min and then returned back to the initial temperature.

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.

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.

Fonsecaea pedrosoi: lipid composition and determination of susceptibility to amphotericin B

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1992
Conidia and mycelial cells of Fonsecaea pedrosoi ATCC 46428 were obtained for analyses of lipid composition. Total lipids, phospholipids, sterols, and qualitative sterols and fatty acid composition were determined. A higher lipid content was detected in conidia than in mycelial cells of Fonsecaea pedrosoi, which could not be attributed to total ...
