Climate Change, Natural Disasters, and Cutaneous Fungal Infections

International Journal of Dermatology, Volume 64, Issue 8, Page 1349-1355, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Fungal infections are an important source of morbidity and mortality that can manifest as superficial or invasive diseases. Diagnostic techniques for human fungal pathogens remain problematic, and multi‐drug resistance is emerging. This review addresses the potential emergence of new fungal pathogens in changing environments and reported ...

Candida Immunity

New Journal of Science, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The human pathogenic fungus Candida albicans is the predominant cause of both superficial and invasive forms of candidiasis. C. albicans primarily infects immunocompromised individuals as a result of either immunodeficiency or intervention therapy, which highlights the importance of host immune defences in preventing fungal infections. The host defence

Molecular identification and antifungal susceptibility profiles of clinical strains of Fonsecaea spp. isolated from patients with chromoblastomycosis in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
BackgroundChromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a difficult-to-treat chronic subcutaneous mycosis. In Brazil, the main agent of this disease is Fonsecaea pedrosoi, which is phenotypically very similar to other Fonsecaea species, differing only genetically.

Hidden under a Cauliflower‐Like Skin Tumor: Chromoblastomycosis

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
We present the case of an 80‐year‐old patient with a recurrent hyperpigmented and cauliflower‐like skin tumor on the stump of his left index finger. Despite suggestive clinical appearance for chromoblastomycosis the tumor was initially clinically and also histopathologically misdiagnosed as recurrent squamous cell carcinoma. Due to a cardiogenic shock,

Phosphatase activity on the cell wall ofFonsecaeapedrosoi [PDF]

Medical Mycology, 2003
The activity of a phosphatase was characterized in intact mycelial forms of Fonsecaea pedrosoi, a pathogenic fungus that causes chromoblastomycosis. At pH 5.5, this fungus hydrolyzed p-nitrophenylphosphate (p-NPP) to p-nitrophenol (p-NP) at a rate of 12.78 +/- 0.53 nmol p-NP per h per mg hyphal dry weight.

Granulomatous Reactions Induced by Lipids Extracted from Fonsecaea pedrosoi, Fonsecaea compactum, Cladosporium carrionii and Phialophora verrucosum [PDF]

Microbiology, 1985
Granulomatous reactions induced by lipid extracts from the dermatophyte fungi Fonsecaea pedrosoi, Fonsecaea compactum, Cladosporium carrionii and Phialophora verrucosum, the causal organisms of chromoblastomycosis, were studied. Charcoal particles coated with the lipid extracts were prepared and injected intravenously into mice.
