Pseudallescheria boydii Keratitis

Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, 2006
Abstract. We describe a patient with Pseudallescheria boydii keratitis. The treatment of mycotic keratitis remains difficult. This case demonstrates that identification and susceptibility testing should be rapidly performed. In cases of indolent keratitis, the possibility of fungal infection should be kept in mind.

Disseminated cutaneous Pseudallescheria boydii

British Journal of Dermatology, 1995
As increasingly aggressive chemotherapeutic regimens are used to treat malignancy, more patients will become susceptible to various opportunistic pathogens. Specifically, several fungal organisms previously viewed as relatively non-pathogenic are more frequently causing serious disease in these patients.

Scedosporium apiospermum (Pseudallescheria boydii) Endocarditis

Journal of Infection, 2002
Scedosporium apiospermum, the asexual state of Pseudallescheria boydii, is increasingly recognized as an opportunistic pathogen. We report a case of native valve endocarditis due to this organism that developed in an elderly patient following a prolonged hospitalization. Literature on endocarditis caused by S. apiospermum and P. boydii is reviewed.

Pseudallescheria boydii (Petriellidium boydii) Infection of the Orbit

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1985
ABSTRACT A 10-year-old male developed a chronic orbital infection following penetrating trauma and retention of an orbital foreign body. Diagnosis of infection with Pseudallescheria boydii (Petriellidium boydii) was made by fungal smear and culture. Sensitivity tests indicated the organism was resistant to amphotericin B.

Vertebral osteomyelitis due to Pseudallescheria boydii

Pathology, 1997
A case of primary vertebral osteomyelitis due to an opportunistic fungus, Pseudallescheria boydii, in a child with acute myeloid leukemia, is reported. To our knowledge this is the first such case in a child, and only the second reported case in the international literature of primary spinal osteomyelitis due to this organism.

Multiple Mycetomas Due to Pseudallescheria boydii

Southern Medical Journal, 1987
A patient with pulmonary sarcoidosis had evaluation of hemoptysis. A CT scan of the chest showed bilateral upper lobe cavities and five separate mycetomas with air-crescent signs. Bronchial washings were positive on stains for fungal elements, and all cultures grew Pseudallescheria boydii. We have not seen a previous report of multiple fungus balls due

Vertebral Osteomyelitis Secondary to Pseudallescheria boydii

Journal of Spinal Disorders, 2001
Because Pseudallescheria boydii vertebral osteomyelitis is rare and frequently resistant to available antifungal agents, the proper treatment of this lesion has not been defined. To better determine the best treatment of this lesion, the authors evaluated a case P. boydii vertebral osteomyelitis and reviewed the literature.
