Activation of the Alternative Complement Pathway by Fonsecaea pedrosoi

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1984
Human sera were examined for evidence of complement activation by Fonsecaea pedrosoi. The serum that had been incubated with F. pedrosoi showed immunoelectrophoretic C3 conversion and generation of C5a, as measured by radioimmunoassay. C3 conversion and C5a generation did not occur in serum chelated with EDTA, or in serum heated to 56 degrees C for 30 ...

Paracoccidioides Spp.: Virulence Factors and Immune‐Evasion Strategies

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Paracoccidioides spp. are dimorphic fungal pathogens responsible for one of the most relevant systemic mycoses in Latin America, paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). Their exact ecological niche remains unknown; however, they have been isolated from soil samples and armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus), which have been proposed as animal reservoir for these ...

Fonsecaea pedrosoias a rare cause of acute conjunctival ulceration [PDF]

Arquivos Brasileiros de Oftalmologia, 2016
Conjunctival ulceration accompanied with secretion and pain was observed in a 30-year-old male, 3 days after a perforating corneal trauma. Cultures of conjunctival ulcer samples grew Fonsecaea pedrosoi, a major causative agent of chromoblastomycosis that is typically transmitted during trauma.

Antimicrobial Properties of Plant Essential Oils against Human Pathogens and Their Mode of Action: An Updated Review

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
A wide range of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) have been explored for their essential oils in the past few decades. Essential oils are complex volatile compounds, synthesized naturally in different plant parts during the process of secondary metabolism.

Chromoblastomycosis due to Fonsecaea pedrosoi: an old wine in a rare bottle

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2015
Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic subcutaneous mycosis commonly caused by Fonsecaea, Phialophora, and Cladophialophora spp. Out of these, Fonsecaea pedrosoi is the most common etiological agent, implicated in 70%–90% of the cases reported worldwide.

Fonsecaea pedrosoi causing leg abscess

Journal of The Academy of Clinical Microbiologists
Chromoblastomycosis is a localised fungal infection of cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue caused by dematiaceous fungi. Etiological agents are black moulds found growing as saprophytes of woods. Here, we report a case of Fonsecaea pedrosoi causing leg abscess in the 41-year-old male patient.

Detection of delayed hypersensitivity to Fonsecaea pedrosoi metabolic antigen (chromomycin)

Nippon Ishinkin Gakkai Zasshi, 2008
An experimental study was conducted between January 2002 and April 2003 for the detection of delayed hypersensitivity to Fonsecaea pedrosoi metabolic antigen (chromomycin) in skin tests. A total of 194 subjects were attended by spontaneous demand at the Infectious and Parasitic Diseases outpatient clinic of the Federal University of Maranhão-UFMA and ...

The Effects of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Infection on GM‐CSF‐ and M‐CSF‐Induced Mouse Bone Marrow‐Derived Macrophage from Resistant and Susceptible Mice Strains

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Considering the importance of macrophages as the first line of defense against fungal infection and the different roles played by the two M1‐ and M2‐like polarized macrophages, we decided to evaluate the effects of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection on GM‐CSF‐ and M‐CSF‐induced bone marrow‐derived macrophages (BMM) from the A/J and B10.A mouse ...

Development of a Loop‐Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay for Rapid Detection of Trichosporon asahii in Experimental and Clinical Samples

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Invasive trichosporonosis is a deep mycosis found mainly in immunocompromised hosts, and the major pathogen is Trichosporon asahii. We detected the species‐specific intergenic spacers (IGS) of rRNA gene of T. asahii using a loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay in 15 isolates with 3 different visualization methods, including SYBR green ...

An unusual case of mediastinal mass due toFonsecaea pedrosoi [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2006
Phaeohyphomycosis is a disease caused by dematiaceous fungi. Here, the first culture-proven case of mediastinal mass due toFonsecaea pedrosoiis reported.The patient was a 40-yr-old male who had presented with history of dyspnoea and dysphagia.Computed tomography of the chest disclosed a mediastinal mass.
