ABSTRACTPaecilomyces is a colonizing fungal species which usually causes keratitis, endocarditis, sinusitis, nephritis, fungemia, cutaneous, and subcutaneous infections in immunocompromised host. Very rarely, it causes similar infection in immunocompetent host without any risk factors. We report a case of maxillary sinusitis due to Paecilomyces lilacinus in a 65-year-old immunocompetent male, who presented with a subcutaneous swelling below the left eye. The lesion was excised by surgery and treated with itraconazole for 6 months based on culture and sensitivity. After 1 year of follow up, he is free of symptoms with no evidence of recurrence.

The author reports the case of C. canimorsus meningitis consecutive to Capnocytophaga canimorsus infection in a 51-year-old man. Human infection is rare but can lead to devastating outcomes. In patients in whom shortly after a dog or cat bite symptoms of meningitis occurred, C. canimorsus infection should be considered. The purpose of this report is to raise awareness of C. canimorsus among physicians when faced with a patient presenting with meningitis, who has been exposed to dogs or cats. Clinicians should adopt a higher clinical suspicion in the absence of classical risk factors. Although mortality is relatively low, survivors often have neurological sequelae. This case report highlights the importance of thorough history taking to assess risk of underlying C. canimorsus infection, even in immunocompetent hosts.

Abstract Background Fungal spondylodiscitis is not common but should be suspected in some cases. Candida tropicalis infections are being more frequently diagnosed due to some factors related to the microorganism. Case Description A C. tropicalis spondylodiscitis is described in a 72-year-old man who was treated with a combination of echinocandin (micafungin) and surgery. Conclusion The presence of some risk factors should promptly raise the suspicion of fungal spondylodiscitis. Treatment should be instituted as early as possible for the best outcome for the patient.
