Organ Tropism

Fungal infections like subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis are uncommon but are increasing lately, especially in tropical regions like India. Identification of correct aetiologic agent is essential as different species can have different organ tropism. Here, a rare case of nodular subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis in an immunocompetent 62-year-old male patient who developed nodule over right dorsum of foot is reported. After various diagnostic tests a rare dematiaceous fungus Medicopsis romeroi was identified as a causative agent in the nodular material by Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequencing. Surgical excision and antifungal therapy of itraconazole proved beneficial with no recurrence during a six months of follow-up. Medicopsis romeroi has been debated for its role in human infections however, it should be considered as one of the aetiologic agents of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis.

Abstract A description is provided for Phaeococcomyces exophialae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Human phaeohyphomycosis (mycoses), subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis, and corneal ulcers; black yeast cells can be found in host tissues. Rock-inhabiting strains of the fungus also cause destruction of archaeological and museum marble, and colour change in marble. HOSTS: Alnus glutinosa, Homo sapiens. Plant material (e.g., straw). Marble and calcareous rock. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: AFRICA: Mali. SOUTH AMERICA: Ecuador, Uruguay. EUROPE: Great Britain, Ukraine. TRANSMISSION: In cases of human disease, traumatic inoculation or presumably by air-borne dissemination of conidia.

Abstract Primary subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis can rarely be caused by Cladophialophora bantiana, and we present the histologic and culture findings of such a case. A 32-year-old African American woman with systemic lupus erythematosus presented with a 2-year history of multiple, recurrent, tender, and ulcerated skin nodules with purulent drainage on her upper back. Histologic sections of the excision demonstrated features of phaeohyphomycosis. Culture findings were characteristic of C bantiana. Of interest, at age 10 she had sustained traumatic implantation of wood splinters into this area during a tornado, yet clinical symptoms of a subcutaneous infection did not manifest until she developed lupus erythematosus at age 27. Our case highlights the role of trauma and immunosuppression in the pathogenesis of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis.
