Sputum Isolation of Wangiella dermatitidis in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis

open access: yesScandinavian 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.

Polymorphism of Wangiella dermatitidis

open access: yes, 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.

Pathogenicity of Wangiella Dermatitidis

open access: yes, 1993
Wangiella dermatitidis is a polymorphic dematiaceous human pathogen causing phaeohyphomycosis.2,5,12 The dark pigmentation associated with the majority of the dematiaceous fungi causing chromoblastomycosis and phaeohyphomycosis results from cell wall melanin which is synthesized via pentaketide metabolism and is termed DHN melanin.6–8,16 Wangiella ...

Cystic Chromomycosis Caused by Wangiella dermatitidis

open access: yesArchives of Dermatology, 1980
To the Editor.— Confusion and dispute, which have accompanied the generic classification of the fungus first described as Hormiscium dermatitidis over the years, 1 continue up to the present time, as shown in the DecemberArchives(115:1433-1434, 1979) in an article entitled "Cystic Chromomycosis due to Wangiella dermatitidis" by Greer et al.

Phaeohyphomycotic Cyst Caused by Wangiella Dennatitidis/Phaeohyphomykotische Zyste durch Wangiella dermatitidis

open access: yesMycoses, 1986
Summary: Phaeohyphomycotic cyst developed on the little finger of the right hand of a 74‐year‐old man following a burn. The diagnosis was made by histopathologic examination of the excised cyst and by isolation of the causal agent in pure culture. The excised cyst walls contained large numbers of dematiaceous, fungal elements in the form of hyphae ...

Cystic Chromomycosis due to Wangiella dermatitidis

open access: yesArchives 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

Cystic Chromomycosis Caused by Wangiella dermatitidis-Reply

open access: yesArchives of Dermatology, 1980
In Reply.— We inadvertently neglected to give credit to the Bureau of Microbiological Science, Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services, Commonwealth of Virginia, Richmond, as our reference laboratory for unusual isolates. They confirmed our identification of our patient's isolate as Wangiella (Fonsecaea) dermatitidis .

Pentaketide metabolites of melanin synthesis in the dematiaceous fungus Wangiella dermatitidis

open access: yesArchives 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.
