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.

Fonsecaeapedrosoi Conidia and Hyphae Activate Neutrophils Distinctly: Requirement of TLR-2 and TLR-4 in Neutrophil Effector Functions

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic and progressive subcutaneous mycosis caused mainly by the fungus Fonsecaea pedrosoi. The infection is characterized by erythematous papules and histological sections demonstrating an external layer of fibrous tissue and ...

Research Progress in Photodynamic Therapy for Infectious Skin Diseases

Dermatologic Therapy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a noninvasive therapeutic strategy that utilizes the synergistic interaction among a photosensitizer, light of a specific wavelength, and tissue oxygen to generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby selectively destroying pathological tissues.

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 ...

An Unusual Case of Onychomycosis Due to Fonsecaea Pedrosoi

Apollo Medicine, 2014
Abstract Onychomycosis is usually caused by dermatophytes, but some nondermatophytic molds and yeasts are also associated with invasion of nails. Here is a report of a case of distal and lateral subungual onychomycosis (DLSO) caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi where it acts as primary agent of nail infection.

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 ...

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.
