Thermotolerance of Wangiella dermatitidis

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1978
A variety of diagnostic tests used by many laboratories to identify isolates of Wangiella dermatitidis (= Fonsecaea dermatitidis) were evaluated. Thirteeen isolates of W. dermatitidis were studied with respect to their ability to grow at 25, 37, 40, 45, and 50 degrees C, colonial and micromorphology, gelatin liquefaction, and hydrolysis of casein ...

Pleoanamorphic life cycle ofExophiala (Wangiella) dermatitidis

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1994
The anamorph life cycle of the black yeast Exophiala (Wangiella) dermatitidis is described. The fungus is dimorphic, yeast cells being the prevalent form of propagation. The fungus is strongly hydrophilic, probably completing its anamorph life cycle in submersion. Adaptation to dry conditions is slow.

Polymorphism of Wangiella dermatitidis

1985
Wangiella dermatitidis exhibits a polymorphism consisting of three well-defined morphologies, together with various forms characteristic of transitions among them (Figure 1). The organism may exist as moniliform or true hyphae, characterized by apical growth and production of blastoconidia.

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

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.

Sputum Isolation of Wangiella dermatitidis in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2001
We report a case of invasive fungal pulmonary infection in a cystic fibrosis patient. Clinical deterioration coincided with isolation of Wangiella dermatitidis from her sputum, and treatment with amphotericin B followed by voriconazole resulted in clinical improvement and sterilization of the sputum. This case suggests that W.

Pentaketide metabolites of melanin synthesis in the dematiaceous fungus Wangiella dermatitidis

Archives of Microbiology, 1984
Melanin synthesis in the dematiaceous, polymorphic hyphomycete Wangiella dermatitidis, a human pathogen, was investigated by biochemical and physiological techniques. Mutants with a decrease or loss in melanin synthesis were induced and isolated.

Carotenoid Pigments of the Dematiaceous FungusWangiella Dermatitidis

Mycologia, 1984
The synthesis of carotenoid pigments by Wangiella dermatitidis was demonstrated with both wild-type (wt) and melanin-deficient (Mel~) strains. The carotenoids synthesized included torulene and torularhodin and their syntheses were shown to require photoinduction.

Wangiella dermatitidis endocarditis in an intravenous drug user

The American Journal of Medicine, 1985
Wangiella dermatitidis is an infrequently encountered dematiacious fungus that usually causes localized infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. This report presents the first well-documented case of natural valve infection caused by this organism as it occurred in intravenous drug abuser.
