a phaeohyphomycotic cyst and peritonitis caused by phialemonium species and a reevaluation of its taxonomy.	two cases of human fungal infections caused by members of the genus phialemonium, a genus proposed by gams and mcginnis (1983) for fungi intermediate between the genera acremonium and phialophora, are presented. the first case was a phaeohyphomycotic cyst on the foot of a renal transplant recipient. the fungus was detected by direct examination and histopathology and was recovered by several procedures over 4 months. it was flat, glabrous, and white becoming yellow with the production of a diffu ...	1993	8349757
phialemonium fungemia: two documented nosocomial cases.	two fungal isolates recovered from the blood of two immunosuppressed patients are described as phialemonium curvatum. one patient died, while the other, who was infected with exophiala jeanselmei at the same time, survived after successful treatment with itraconazole. analysis of internal transcribed spacer sequences demonstrated that the isolates belonged to the same strain and that the source of infection was probably a catheter. the taxonomic position of p. curvatum is discussed, and phialemo ...	1999	10405391
aphanomyces invadans and ulcerative mycosis in estuarine and freshwater fish in florida.	in the spring of 1998, the florida fish and wildlife research institute received numerous reports of lesioned or ulcerated fish primarily from the st. lucie estuary on the southeast coast of florida, an area known since the late 1970s for lesions of the ulcerative mycosis (um) type. from these and archived reports, as well as others received from different areas of florida, we documented that diseased specimens had randomly distributed skin ulcers (usually reddened or hemorrhagic) with raised ir ...	2007	18236628
pathogenicity studies with the fungi aphanomyces invadans, achlya bisexualis, and phialemonium dimorphosporum: induction of skin ulcers in striped mullet.	based on isolations from naturally infected fish in florida, we investigated the role of the fungi aphanomyces invadans, achlya bisexualis, and phialemonium dimorphosporum in the etiology of ulcerative mycosis (um) in striped mullet mugil cephalus. we injected healthy striped mullet subcutaneously with secondary zoospores of four oomycete isolates: two concentrations (50 and 115 zoospores/ml) of sjr (an endemic isolate of aphanomyces invadans in american shad alosa sapidissima from the st. johns ...	2007	18236631
