| amphotericin b responsive scedosporium apiospermum infection in a patient with acute myeloid leukaemia. | a 71 year old man with newly diagnosed acute myelomonocytic leukaemia developed a soft tissue infection of his foot during his first course of chemotherapy. scedosporium apiospermum was isolated from the lesion, which resolved rapidly on treatment with intravenous amphotericin b despite being resistant in vitro to this agent. this observation suggests that sensitivity testing of s apiospermum should be interpreted with caution and that clinical response may be a better indicator of outcome. | 1996 | 8666698 |
| a 33 kda serine proteinase from scedosporium apiospermum. | an extracellular proteinase produced by the filamentous fungus scedosporium apiospermum has been purified and characterized. initially, in vitro conditions for enzyme synthesis were investigated. the highest yield of enzyme production was obtained when the fungus was cultivated in modified czapek-dox liquid medium supplemented with 0.1% bacteriological peptone and 1% (w/v) glucose as the nitrogen and carbon sources respectively. purification to homogeneity of the proteinase was accomplished by ( ... | 1996 | 8670095 |
| scedosporium apiospermum pneumonia after autologous bone marrow transplantation. | although opportunistic infections after bone marrow transplantation (bmt) are very common, only five cases of pseudallescheria boydii infection have been reported in the literature, two of which were autopsy findings. a case of scedosporium apiospermum infection after bmt, treated initially with amphotericin b (total dose of 2.5 g) and then with itraconazole (for 25 days), is reported here. when the patient failed to improve, scedosporium apiospermum pneumonia was diagnosed and therapy was chang ... | 1996 | 8874080 |
| development of murine monoclonal antibodies for the immunohistochemical diagnosis of systemic bovine aspergillosis. | murine monoclonal antibodies (mabs) against water-soluble somatic antigens (wssa) and the wall fraction (wf) from aspergillus fumigatus were produced by fusion of splenocytes from immunized balb/c mice with mouse myeloma x63-ag 8.653 cells. the supernatants of in vitro cultured hybridomas were initially screened for reactivity with the wssa and the wf from a. fumigatus and wssa of other fungi in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). supernatants reacting only with a. fumigatus antigens w ... | 1996 | 9026084 |
| [epidemiology of invasive mycoses. experience of a university hospital center in paris]. | the incidence of opportunistic fungal infections have dramatically increased during the past decades. data from a retrospective study conducted between january 1992 and december 1994 in necker-enfants malades hospital and a review of the literature were analyzed to assess the main epidemiological features of these infections. candidiasis remained largely the most frequent: candidemia and invasive candidiasis were diagnosed in respectively 71 and 11 patients. candida albicans was the agent the mo ... | 1996 | 8959131 |
| scedosporium apiospermum infection imitating lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis in a patient with myeloblastic-monocytic leukaemia. | a 63-year-old man with a history of myeloblastic-monocytic leukaemia developed partly suppurating cutaneous nodules on the lower left leg. the nodules proceeded to spread in a linear fashion up the limb, following the line of the lymphatic drainage. mycological examination of a skin biopsy demonstrated scedoporium apiospermum. this case highlights the potential for scedosporium species to act as opportunistic infections in immunosuppressed humans. | 1995 | 8555041 |
| cerebral pseudallescheria mycosis after near-drowning. | scedosporium apiospermum, an anamorph of pseudallescheria boydii, is a hyalohyphomycete which can be mistaken, histologically, for aspergillus. s. apiospermum is clinically distinguished by resistance to most antifungals and its ability to cause invasive mycoses in immunocompetent patients. here we present a typical case of lethal cerebral pseudallescheria mycosis in a child after near-drowning. | 1995 | 8720198 |
| ribosomal dna internal transcribed spacer analysis supports synonomy of scedosporium inflatum and lomentospora prolificans. | scedosporium inflatum is a dematiaceous opportunistic pathogen originally described by d. malloch and i.f. salkin (mycotaxon 21:247-255, 1984). however, e. gueho and g. s. de hoog (j. mycol. med. 118:3-9, 1991) recently suggested reducing this mold to synonomy with lomentospora prolificans on the basis of their similar morphological and molecular characteristics. we have investigated the ribosomal dna internal transcribed spacers (its), i.e., its i and its ii, of 18 isolates, including these two ... | 1994 | 7814476 |
| phylogeny of dermatophytes and dimorphic fungi based on large subunit ribosomal rna sequence comparisons. | the phylogeny of dermatophytes and dimorphic fungi was considered using the large-subunit of ribosomal rna (25s rrna). aligned sequences of 595 nucleotides covering the two most divergent domains d1 and d2, permitted a comparison of phylogenetic relationships at different levels. the dimorphic species (onygenaceae) were significantly separated from dermatophytes (arthrodermataceae) and from a third group including geophilic or very weakly pathogenic species (onygenaceae and gymnoascaceae). on a ... | 1994 | 7844699 |
| successful bone marrow transplantation in patients with previous invasive fungal infections: report of four cases. | patients with previous invasive fungal infections (ifi) are at high risk of reactivation of the infection during bmt, even after an apparently curative antifungal treatment. we report four patients who suffered an ifi after intensive chemotherapy for acute leukemia and were later submitted for bmt. one patient had developed a chronic systemic candidiasis during consolidation chemotherapy and received prophylactic oral or iv fluconazole (200 mg daily) throughout bmt. two patients developed an inv ... | 1994 | 8199569 |

| scedosporium inflatum, an emerging pathogen. | the salient morphologic and physiologic characteristics of 18 isolates of scedosporium inflatum, a newly reported human pathogen, were compared with those of the morphologically similar fungi scedosporium apiospermum, scopulariopsis brevicaulis, and scopulariopsis brumptii. the formation by s. inflatum of annelloconidia in wet clumps at the apices of annellides with swollen bases was found to be the most useful characteristic in differentiating this potential pathogen. | 1988 | 3356789 |
