Conidiogenesis in Petriellidium boydii (Pseudallescheria boydii)

Mycopathologia, 1982
Slide cultures of the type strain of P. boydii Shear, showed percurrent production of conidia by light microscopy over a period of several hours. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy were used to examine the conidiogenesis. The conidiogenous cells developed annular ridges rather than typical annellophoric scars.

Pseudallescheria boydii keratomycosis in a dog

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1992
A dog that had a chronic history of keratoconjunctivitis sicca and was being treated topically with antibiotics and corticosteroids was examined for evaluation of a melting corneal ulcer. Cytologic examination and cultures revealed the pathogen to be Pseudallescheria boydii, a saprophytic fungus.

Pseudallescheria boydii keratomycosis in a horse

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1989
The fungal organism Pseudallescheria boydii was isolated from the cornea of a Quarter Horse with ulcerative keratitis. Despite aggressive hourly medication through a subpalpebral lavage system, with drugs including miconazole and natamycin, the cornea developed a stromal abscess. Orbital exenteration was performed after 3 weeks.

Endogenous Pseudallescheria boydii Endophthalmitis

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1991
Two cases of endogenous Pseudallescheria boydii endophthalmitis are presented. One patient had severe pulmonary fibrosis but no history of ocular trauma and no clinical or laboratory evidence of immunocompromise. Despite therapy with repeated intravitreal miconazole nitrate injections and systemic fluconazole, enucleation of the globe was required, and

Pseudallescheria boydii Mycetoma in Northern New England

International Journal of Dermatology, 1988
ABSTRACT: Mycetoma is a chronic subcutaneous fungal infection characterized by tumefaction, draining sinuses, and grains. It is most common in the tropics but occasionally occurs in the United States. We report a case of a mycetoma affecting the foot of a 38–year‐old mentally retarded man from northern New England.

Isolated sphenoid sinusitis due toPseudallescheria boydii

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1993
A case of sphenoid sinusitis due toPseudallescheria boydiiis described in a 52-year-old non-immunocompromised woman. Treatment should always involve surgical drainage, and antifungal chemotherapy may be of benefit if there is histological evidence of invasion of surrounding tissue. ForP.

Extracellular Peptidase in the Fungal Pathogen Pseudallescheria boydii

Current Microbiology, 2006
Pseudallescheria boydii is a ubiquitous filamentous fungus capable of causing invasive disease in humans. In the present study, using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels containing bovine serum albumin as co-polymerized substrate, we identified a 28-kDa proteolytic activity released to the extracellular environment by mycelia of P. boydii.

Disseminated Pseudallescheria boydii Infection in a Nonimmunocompromised Host

Chest, 1999
We present a highly unusual case of pulmonary Pseudallescheria boydii infection in a nonimmunocompromised host with a cavitating mass lesion. The diagnosis was confirmed by open lung biopsy. The patient was treated at another institution with course of amphotericin B, considered an ineffective therapy for this infection, and presented to us with direct

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Mycosis Caused by:Pseudallescheria boydii

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1993
Two cases of allergic bronchopulmonary pseudallescheriosis (ABPP) are described. These are the first cases of this allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) reported in which the clinical and serologic criteria are described. The first case was in a patient with mild asthma, and it resolved spontaneously after expectoration of a mucous plug.

Mycelial forms of Pseudallescheria boydii present ectophosphatase activities

Archives of Microbiology, 2007
Phosphatase activities were characterized in intact mycelial forms of Pseudallescheria boydii, which are able to hydrolyze the artificial substrate p-nitrophenylphosphate (p-NPP) to p-nitrophenol (p-NP) at a rate of 41.41+/-2.33 nmol p-NP per h per mg dry weight, linearly with increasing time and with increasing cell density.
