Scedosporium apiospermumkeratitis treated with itraconazole [PDF]

Medical Mycology, 2003
Mycotic keratitis usually occurs in conjunction with trauma to the cornea. Scedosporium apiospermum, a dematiaceous fungus linked to the teleomorph Pseudallescheria boydii is not a common agent of mycotic keratitis. A 22-year old male patient with mycotic keratitis due to S. apiospermum is presented.

In Vitro Activities of Five Antifungal Drugs Against Conidia and Sclerotic Cells of Chromoblastomycosis Agent Fonsecaea spp

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 3, Page 139-147, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic skin and subcutaneous infection mainly caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi, a dematiaceous fungus with various morphotypes. Characteristic sclerotic cells—globe‐shaped, multiseptated and pigmented—are found in lesions of infected individuals, though their differentiation in the host remains poorly understood. To

Characterisation of Antifungal Prophylaxis and Therapy Among Inpatients With Haematological Malignancies in Non‐Research Clinical Setting: A Multicentre Italian Experience

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are a prominent cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with haematological malignancies (HMs). Diagnostic work‐up excluding IFI is mandatory in case of persistent fever while antifungal treatment (AFT) is started.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilms in Cystic Fibrosis: Interactions, Methods, and Therapeutic Strategies

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This review explores the role of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms in cystic fibrosis (CF) pathogenesis. Biofilms, the main bacterial lifestyle in CF lungs, are key in therapy failure, immune evasion, and chronic infection persistence. This review examines biofilm structure, emphasizing extracellular polymeric substances (Psl, Pel, alginate, eDNA) and ...

Autopsy Findings in a Case of Lomentospora prolificans Fungemia in Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Lomentospora prolificans is a soil‐, plant‐, or animal‐borne mold that can affect immunocompromised hosts. Most L. prolificans infections are identifiable in the bloodstream. L. prolificans fungemia has never been reported in an autopsy. Case Report We treated a 79‐year‐old man with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), MDS‐EB‐1 subtype.
