chronic cystitis due to cokeromyces recurvatus: a case report.		1987	3559278
rhizoferrin: a complexone type siderophore of the mucorales and entomophthorales (zygomycetes).	the present investigation presents evidence that rhizoferrin, a novel polycarboxylate or complexone-type siderophore, originally isolated from rhizopus microsporus, represents the common siderophore within the zygomycetes. thus, rhizoferrin could be detected by hplc analysis in various families of the mucorales, e.g., rhizopus microsporus var. rhizopodiformis, mucor mucedo and phycomyces nitens (mucoraceae), chaetostylum fresenii and cokeromyces recurvatus (thamnidiaceae), cunninghamella elegans ...	1992	1387861
viability of fungal cultures maintained at -70 degrees c.	one thousand four hundred forty-seven clinical and environmental isolates of molds, yeasts, aerobic actinomycetes, and algae belonging to 164 genera (382 taxa) maintained on potato dextrose agar at -70 degrees c for periods ranging from 6 months to 13 years were subcultured and then incubated at 25 degrees c to determine their viabilities. thirty-three isolates, alternaria alternata (n = 1), apophysomyces elegans (n = 1), bipolaris spicifera (n = 1), blastomyces dermatitidis (n = 4), cokeromyces ...	1992	1572955
cokeromyces recurvatus, a mucoraceous zygomycete rarely isolated in clinical laboratories.	cokeromyces recurvatus poitras was isolated from an endocervical specimen obtained from a 37-year-old, insulin-dependent diabetic. the patient's diabetic condition had been well controlled for 10 years, and she had no other known medical problem. this is only the fourth time that this zygomycete has been recovered from a human source. while there was no evidence of tissue invasion in the present patient, the observation of fungus-like structures in two separate papanicolaou-stained cervical smea ...	1994	8195405
severe diarrhea due to cokeromyces recurvatus in a bone marrow transplant recipient.	cokeromyces recurvatus, a sporangiola-forming dimorphic fungus, is a rare cause of urogenital infection in humans. we report here a case of severe watery diarrhea due to c. recurvatus, which was treated successfully with high-dose oral nystatin therapy. we speculate that our patient was probably predisposed to infections due to opportunistic organisms, such as c. recurvatus, because of post-transplantation immunosuppression. to our knowledge, our patient represents the first documented case of d ...	1995	7639250
cokeromyces recurvatus isolated from pleural and peritoneal fluid: case report.	the zygomycetous mold cokeromyces recurvatus was isolated from the pleural and peritoneal fluids of a 64-year-old man with a history of peptic ulcer disease and alcohol abuse. the patient presented to the hospital with severe abdominal pain and a ruptured duodenal ulcer. this is one of the few times that c.recurvatus has been isolated from a human source, and the organism may have contributed to the death of this patient.	1996	8880530
cokeromyces recurvatus infection in a bone marrow transplant recipient.	diarrhea is common after bone marrow transplants. we report cokeromyces recurvatus infection in a transplant recipient with diarrhea. treatment with mystatin was effective.	1997	9028564
cokeromyces recurvatus as a human pathogenic fungus: case report and critical review of the published literature.		2000	10694005
isolation of cokeromyces recurvatus, initially misidentified as coccidioides immitis, from peritoneal fluid in a cat with jejunal perforation.	cokeromyces recurvatus, a zygomycete, was isolated by fungal culture from the peritoneal fluid of a cat with jejunal perforation secondary to intestinal lymphosarcoma. this organism has not been recovered previously from a veterinary patient. the tissue form of c. recurvatus is morphologically similar to those of coccidioides immitis and paracoccidioides brasiliensis and may be misdiagnosed as 1 of these organisms on the basis of cytologic or histopathologic specimens, particularly in geographic ...	2005	16130998
fatal cokeromyces recurvatus pneumonia: report of a case highlighting the potential for histopathologic misdiagnosis as coccidoides.	cokeromyces recurvatusis a dimorphic zygomycete with histologic morphology similar to coccidioides immitis. a 66-year-old man who was status-post bone marrow transplantation for chronic myelogenous leukemia was hospitalized with new onset rash, nausea, and vomiting and subsequently expired. a sputum culture collected on the day of death revealed heavy growth of c. recurvatus 6 days after collection. at autopsy, microscopic examination of the lungs revealed numerous thick-walled, nonbudding spher ...	2009	19147507
isolation of cokeromyces recurvatus from the gastrointestinal tract in a dog with protein-losing enteropathy.	the present case report describes the isolation of the fungus cokeromyces recurvatus from the intestinal tract of a canine patient. infection by this fungus is rare, having only been reported in 8 human beings and 1 cat. the fungus is not reported to exhibit tissue invasion. cokeromyces recurvatus is most likely an opportunistic agent, and most cases described involve some degree of immunosuppression.	2011	21908366
two cases of cokeromyces recurvatus in liquid-based papanicolaou tests and a review of the literature.	we present 2 cases of cokeromyces recurvatus in routine, liquid-based papanicolaou tests (thinprep). patient 1 is a healthy, asymptomatic, 26-year-old woman with no pertinent past medical history. patient 2 is a healthy, asymptomatic, 47-year-old woman with no pertinent past medical history. the papanicolaou tests from both patients showed many fungal-like elements as globose, yeastlike forms measuring 10 to 30 µm in diameter with multiple, narrowly attached apparent "daughter" buds. this morpho ...	2012	23194052
cokeromyces recurvatus identified in lung biopsy: case report of a non-pathogenic fungus, highlighting its potential histologic mimics.	we report a case of aspiration in a patient with gastric outlet obstruction due to pancreatic adenocarcinoma, in which three large yeasts were identified on tissue biopsy of the lung infiltrate. the histologic sections of the yeasts showed densely eosinophilic, round to oval, thick-walled structures with frayed borders and intra-cystic bluish inclusions. there was a background of mixed neutrophilic and eosinophilic infiltrate along with focal tissue necrosis. our initial differential diagnoses i ...	2015	25887878
cokeromyces recurvatus in a cervical papanicolaou test: a case report of a rare fungus with a brief review of the literature.	here we report a rare case of cokeromyces recurvatus in a pap test in an asymptomatic pregnant patient. each liquid-based pap slide contained multiple rounded yeast-like forms measuring 10-30 µm including some profiles with peripheral small buds. the background had neither epithelial abnormality nor any significant inflammation. a positive silver stain aided in confirming a fungal organism. rare fungi were considered including paracoccidioides brasiliensis due to the 'mariner's wheel' morphology ...	2016	26800441
