Environmental Screening of Fonsecaea Agents of Chromoblastomycosis Using Rolling Circle Amplification

Journal of Fungi, 2020
Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic, cutaneous or subcutaneous mycosis characterized by the presence of muriform cells in host tissue. Implantation disease is caused by melanized fungi related to black yeasts, which, in humid tropical climates, are mainly ...

Resistance of melanized yeast cells of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis to antimicrobial oxidants and inhibition of phagocytosis using carbohydrates and monoclonal antibody to CD18 [PDF]

, 2009
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, a thermal dimorphic fungal pathogen, produces a melanin-like pigment in vitro and in vivo. We investigated the involvement of carbohydrates and monoclonal antibody to CD18, on phagocytosis inhibition, involving macrophage ...

Differential distribution patterns of Fonsecaea agents of chromoblastomycosis, exemplified by the first case due to F. monophora from Argentina

Medical Mycology Case Reports, 2018
Chromoblastomycosis is a mutilating infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues caused by melanized fungi belonging to the order Chaetothyriales. Proven cases of the main agent, Fonsecaea pedrosoi are mainly limited to (sub)tropical, humid climates of

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 ...

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.

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.

A screening of the MMV Pathogen Box® reveals new potential antifungal drugs against the etiologic agents of chromoblastomycosis.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic subcutaneous mycosis caused by traumatic implantation of many species of black fungi. Due to the refractoriness of some cases and common recurrence of CBM, a more effective and less time-consuming treatment is ...

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 ...
