endophthalmitis of probable endogenous origin caused by scedosporium boydii: a case report.mycotic ocular infections caused by the scedosporium apiospermum species complex are challenging to treat because of the delayed diagnoses and poor responses to antifungal drugs and surgical treatment.201626874584
identification of scedosporium boydii catalase a1 gene, a reactive oxygen species detoxification factor highly expressed in response to oxidative stress and phagocytic cells.scedosporium boydii is an opportunistic filamentous fungus which may be responsible for a large variety of infections in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. this fungus belongs to the scedosporium apiospermum species complex which usually ranks second among the filamentous fungi colonizing the airways of patients with cystic fibrosis (cf). species of the s. apiospermum complex are able to chronically colonize the cf airways suggesting pathogenic mechanisms allowing persistenc ...201526615753
assessing micafungin/triazole combinations for the treatment of invasive scedosporiosis due to scedosporium apiospermum and scedosporium boydii.scedosporium infections are associated with high therapeutic failure rates. combination therapy may be an alternative approach to improve outcome. the in vitro and in vivo efficacy of micafungin plus posaconazole or plus voriconazole was investigated herein.201424986494
cluster analysis of scedosporium boydii infections in a single hospital.scedosporiosis is a rare, but often fatal mycotic infection occurring in immunosuppressed as well as in immunocompetent patients. over a period of 14 months, scedosporium boydii isolates were sent to our reference laboratory from six immunocompetent patients treated at a single hospital in germany. in analogy to the eortc/msg criteria, four patients were classified as proven invasive scedosporiosis cases, and two patients as probable or possible cases. of note, in five patients scedosporiosis wa ...201526330287
radioiodine uptake in inactive pulmonary tuberculosis.radioiodine may accumulate at sites of inflammation or infection. we have seen such accumulation in six thyroid cancer patients with a history of previously treated pulmonary tuberculosis. we also review the causes of false-positive radioiodine uptake in lung infection/inflammation. eight foci of radioiodine uptake were seen on six iodine-123 diagnostic scans. in three foci, the uptake was focal and indistinguishable from thyroid cancer pulmonary metastases from thyroid cancer. in the remaining ...199910369953

superior sagittal sinus infection with petriellidium boydii: case report.a case of infection of the superior sagittal sinus with petriellidium boydii is reported. this relatively common fungal pathogen rarely invades the central nervous system. immunological compromise and poor personal hygiene seem to be common attributes shared by this patient and the 4 previous patients reported to have suffered invasion of the central nervous system by this organism. this report is unique in that it is the first demonstrating apparent hematogenous dissemination of this organism t ...19892710306
[mycetoma caused by petriellidium boydii: treatment with ketoconazole].a case of mycetoma of the lower leg (madura foot) with bone involvement caused by petriellidium boydii is presented. after an initially favourable therapeutic response to ketoconazole (2 x 200 mg/die) the process recurred despite proven sensitivity of the fungus in vitro. it could not be controlled with conservative treatment and ultimately necessitated amputation of the lower leg. a striking, hitherto unreported feature of mycetoma was the episodic occurrence of circulating immune complexes wit ...19854044257
successful medical treatment of pulmonary petriellidiosis.we have reported a case with culture and serologic evidence of pulmonary infection with petriellidium boydii treated with intravenous miconazole, resulting in dramatic symptomatic improvement, stabilization of x-ray changes, and clearing of petriellidium on sputum culture. although no biopsy was done to establish absolute diagnosis of invasive disease, and thus the results of this case cannot be taken as an absolute criterion for therapy, this may represent the first medical cure of pulmonary in ...19854039074

petriellidium (allescheria) boydii orbital and brain abscess treated with intravenous miconazole.a previously healthy 4-year-old boy suffered a penetrating injury to his left orbit and left frontal lobe, which resulted in an infection by petriellidium boydii. the patient was successfully treated with intravenous miconazole and multiple debridements.19846731542
petriellidium boydii pachymeningitis treated with miconazole and ketoconazole.a very rare case of petriellidium boydii pachymeningitis is described. rarer still is the stabilization of this case for a prolonged period. miconazole and ketaconazole both seemed useful in the treatment, and their role is discussed.19846324020
disseminated petriellidiosis (allescheriasis) in a patient with refractory acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.a case of disseminated petriellidiosis is presented. this complication occurred in a patient with refractory acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, who was receiving repeated courses of cytotoxic drugs, antibiotics and prolonged corticosteroid therapy. the diagnosis of infection by petriellidium boydii was established by pathological and microbiological studies of a specimen obtained at open lung biopsy. the portal of entry was probably through the lung spreading later via the blood stream to the brain, ...19846584444
petriellidosis (pseudallescheriasis) in southwestern ontario, canada.seven cases of petriellidosis (pseudallescheriasis) in southwestern ontario residents and one in a saskatchewan patient are recorded. brief clinical histories are given of two of these cases. the first isolation of petriellidium boydii from soil in ontario is also described.19846463808

fungal arthritis simulating juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.petriellidium boydii is often isolated from maduromycosis but has recently been associated with arthritis. a previously healthy 6-year-old boy developed chronic purulent arthritis of the knee after a bicycle accident. culture of aspirate grew no pathogens and antibiotic treatment had no effect. culture of synovial fluid grew p boydii, which responded initially to amphotericin but reappeared after six months. subsequent treatment with miconazole was stopped after development of haematuria. the fu ...19826288166
near-drowning complicated by brain abscess due to petriellidium boydii.extracutaneous infection from petriellidium boydii is an unusual occurrence despite the ubiquity of the organism in nature. central nervous system infection by this organism is extremely rare, only seven previous reports having been found. the rarity of this manifestation prompted the report of a brain abscess occurring in a previously healthy youth after a near-drowning. the source of the infection was likely to have been the river water at the accident site, from which p boydii was isolated. a ...19827103801

serological diagnosis of petriellidosis (allescheriosis). i. isolation and characterization of soluble antigens from allescheria boydu and monosporium apiospermum.soluble antigens in culture filtrates of three strains of petriellidium boydii and three strains of monosporium apiospermum were examined. antigens were separated from concentrated crude filtrates by anion-exchange chromatography. a single major peak (antigen 1), constituting a significant proportion of the total recoverable carbohydrate, was the only product isolated from each of four chromatographed filtrates. depending on the fungus strain, antigen 1 consisted of 90--96% carbohydrate, 3-4% pr ...1976819833
pulmonary infection with allescheria boydii.allescheria boydii, the most common fungus isolated from north american maduromycosis, is a well-described pathogen. reports of its isolation from sites other than the extremities are rare. only ten cases of pulmonary infection are recorded in the literature. of these, two are primary infections, and eight are secondary. an eleventh case is reported. although there are some elements in the patient's history that indicate that this infection is secondary, the authors regard the infection a primar ...1976998563
isolation of allescheria boydii from pleural fluid.allescheria boydii was repeatedly isolated from thoracentesis fluid from a patient with a right pleural effusion. histological study of methanamine-stained pleural tissue revealed the presence of septate hyphae. after a thoracotomy and decortication, the patient's symptoms cleared, and he has remained asymptomatic over a postoperative period of 13 months.1977845248
allescheria boydii osteomyelitis following multiple steroid injections and surgery.this is a report of a 46-year-old male who developed an allescheria boydii infection secondary to excision of an interdigital neuroma. previously reported cases of infection occurred in an immunosuppressed patient and in patients on systemic corticosteroid therapy, but not associated with a surgical wound. this patient received multiple local corticosteroid injections which may have produced local as well as systemic immunosuppression. fungal cultures were not taken for many months and thus the ...2013598124
