13. Subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis: a histopathological study of nine cases from Malawi.
The clinical and histopathological features of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis in nine patients from Malawi are presented. The patients had varied clinical presentations and microscopically, in each case, there was a subcutaneous abscess or cystic granuloma. In seven cases (78%) the causative fungal elements were easily identified in sections stained with hae

14. Acute Cerebral Phaeohyphomycosis due to Wangiella dermatitidis Accompanied by Cerebrospinal Fluid Eosinophilia
We report a case of cerebral phaeohyphomycosis due to Wangiella dermaitidis in an immunocompetent adult man. His cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) showed pleocytosis with a high eosinophil count but without peripheral blood eosinophilia. The present case suggested that this black yeast-like fungus should be included when the causes of CSF eosinophilia are considered

15. First U.S. Report of Subcutaneous Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by Veronaea botryosa in a Heart Transplant Recipient and Review of the Literature
Veronaea botryosa is a rare agent of human phaeohyphomycosis. We describe the first case of subcutaneous disease occurring in the United States, alert clinicians to the second report of a transplant-associated mycosis in a heart transplant recipient, extend the previously defined area of endemicity, and review the literature.

16. Subcutaneous Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by Veronaea botryosa in the People’s Republic of China
The second case of phaeohyphomycosis caused by Veronaea botryosa in China, in a 12-year-old boy from Jiangsu Province, is presented. Based on direct examination of the scrapings from crusted lesions; histologic examination of the biopsy tissue showing septate, phaeoid hyphal elements; and the culture exhibiting sympodial, conidiogenous cells producing predom

17. SCH 56592, Amphotericin B, or Itraconazole Therapy of Experimental Murine Cerebral Phaeohyphomycosis Due to Ramichloridium obovoideum (“Ramichloridium mackenziei”)
Ramichloridium obovoideum (“Ramichloridium makenziei”) is a rare cause of lethal cerebral phaeohyphomycosis. It has been, so far, geographically restricted to the Middle East. BALB/c mice were inoculated with two strains of R. obovoideum intracranially. Therapy with amphotericin B, itraconazole, or the investigational triazole SCH 56592 was conducted for

18. Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by Alternaria infectoria in a Renal Transplant Recipient
We report on a case of phaeohyphomycosis caused by Alternaria infectoria in a renal transplant recipient with pulmonary infiltrates and multiple skin lesions. Diagnosis was based on microscopy and culture of the skin lesions. Treatment consisted of a combination of surgical excision and systemic antifungal therapy, first with itraconazole and subsequently wi

19. Emerging agents of phaeohyphomycosis: pathogenic species of Bipolaris and Exserohilum.
Study of numerous living isolates of Bipolaris, Drechslera, Exserohilum, and Helminthosporium spp., as well as a mycological assessment of published case reports of phaeohyphomycosis attributed to these fungi, showed that Bipolaris australiensis, B. hawaiiensis, B. spicifera, Exserohilum longirostratum, E. mcginnisii, and E. rostratum are well-documented pat

21. Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis caused by Chaetomium globosum in a renal transplant recipient.
A 32-year-old male patient developed headaches, vomiting, blurring of vision, and focal seizures of the left side of the face 2 months after a renal transplant. He developed a brain abscess and died. Direct KOH examination of the brain tissue demonstrated hyaline as well as dematiaceous, septate hyphae. Histologic examination of brain sections revealed polym

22. Phialophora repens, an emerging agent of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis in humans.
A 63-year-old Japanese man had phaeohyphomycosis that occurred as a solitary subcutaneous nodule on the dorsal aspect of his left hand. In the nodule there were foci of mixed granulomatous and suppurative infiltrations circumscribed by thick fibrous tissue reaction. The foci contained short septate hyphae and occasionally small rounded aggregates of irregula

23. Phaeohyphomycosis Infection Leading to Flexor Tendon Rupture: A Case Report
A rare previously unreported cause of flexor tendon rupture is described. A 66-year-old man presented with a fully extended left middle finger, accompanied by swelling and purulent drainage. Prior to presentation, he had received a steroid injection for left middle finger stenosing tenosynovitis and subsequently developed culture-proven phaeohyphomycosis fun

24. Posaconazole Therapy of Disseminated Phaeohyphomycosis in a Murine Model
Immunocompetent (nu/+) and athymic (nu/nu) BALB/c mice were infected intravenously with Wangiella dermatitidis and treated with posaconazole. Posaconazole reduced the counts in tissues and prolonged survival. Of particular interest, posaconazole reduced the counts of this neurotropic pathogen in the brain.
