Corneal Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by Wangiella dermatitidis

Ophthalmologica, 2010
A case is described of a corneal abscess of the left eye of a patient, male, 35 years, from which there was found in pure culture a mycotic micro-organism, Exophiala (Wangiella) dermatitidis, determined also in the native preparation from the pus. The patient is feebleminded, suffers from von Recklinghausen’s disease and has an impairment of the immune

A previously undescribed synanamorph ofWangiella dermatitidis

Medical Mycology, 1990
A black yeast isolated from a Korean patient with subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis was studied and identified as Wangiella dermatitidis (Kano) McGinnis on the basis of its distinctive morphology, and physiologic and serologic characteristics. In addition to the characteristic diagnostic features of W.

Genetic transformation of the pathogenic fungus Wangiella dermatitidis

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1995
Genetic transformation of Wangiella dermatitidis was studied using three plasmid vectors (pAN7-1, pWU44, and pKK5) and both electroporation and polyethyleneglycol-mediated methods. pAN7-1 contains the E. coli hygromycin B (HmB) phosphotransferase (hph) gene. Expression of the hph gene confers resistance to antibiotic HmB.

Fungal melanonychia: ungual phaeohyphomycosis caused by Wangiella dermatitidis

Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 1992
A 51-year-old female Japanese patient developed black pigmentation affecting both big toe-nails. Direct potassium hydroxide examination of the nail tissue demonstrated clusters of spherical dematiaceous cells, toruloid hyphae, and septate hyphae. Wangiella dermatitidis was repeatedly isolated from the affected toe-nail lesions. This case represents the

Critical Review of Human Isolates of Wangiella Dermatitidis

Mycologia, 1984
We studied critically 26 isolates that had been called Wangiella dermatitidis (including Kano's type culture) and were variously described in the literature as causal agents of chromoblastomycosis, chromomycosis, or phaeohyphomycosis. Only 21 ofthe 26 proved to be W.

Catheter-associated fungemia due to Wangiella (Exophiala) dermatitidis

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1996
We describe a case of catheter-associated Wangiella (Exophiala) dermatitidis fungemia in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected child who was successfully treated with antifungal therapy and catheter removal. Catheter-associated W. dermatitidis fungemia appears to be distinct from previously described cases of disseminated infection with organ ...

Cystic Chromomycosis due to Wangiella dermatitidis

Archives of Dermatology, 1979
Chromomycosis is a chronic, slowly progressive disease of the skin and subcutaneous tissue produced by several species of dematiaceous or pigmented fungi, especially Phialophora gougeroti . Verrucous nodules and flattened annular plaques are the most frequently reported skin lesions in chromomycosis, but deep abscesses and cystic lesions have also been
