| onychomycoses due to microascus cirrosus (syn. m. desmosporus). | microascus cirrosus is very rarely the aetiological agent of onychomycosis. we report two additional cases of toenail infections caused by this fungus. | 1992 | 1287486 |
| disseminated microascus cirrosus infection in pediatric bone marrow transplant recipient. | microascus cirrosus curzi and its associated anamorphic state, scopulariopsis, were recovered from the cutaneous lesion of a 12-year-old male who had undergone an autologous bone marrow transplantation for acute myelogenous leukemia. histopathology sections from the biopsied lesion demonstrated septate hyphae consistent with a fungal etiology. radiographic studies of the lungs subsequent to progression of the lesion revealed a consolidation in the right upper lobe suggesting a primary focus of i ... | 1995 | 7751387 |
| resistant microascus cirrosus pneumonia can be treated with a combination of surgery, multiple anti-fungal agents and a growth factor. | a 49-year old male with acute myelogenous leukemia relapsed eight years post allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. the patient received induction chemotherapy causing prolonged neutropenia. the patient developed pneumonia for which empirical antibacterial and antifungal therapy were started. the patient underwent a video-assisted thorocascopy with near complete resection of the lesion because of poor response to treatment. microascus cirrosus was identified in the tissue. in vitro susceptibili ... | 2006 | 17039277 |
| fatal invasive infection with fungemia due to microascus cirrosus, after heart and lung transplantation in a patient with cystic fibrosis. | scopulariopsis species are rarely but increasingly recognized as opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised patients. we report on a patient suffering from cystic fibrosis who developed disseminated fungal infection due to a rare scopulariopsis species, microascus cirrosus, after heart and lung transplantation. despite antifungal combination therapy with voriconazole and caspofungin, the patient died 4 weeks after transplantation. diagnostic difficulties and optimal management of disseminated ... | 2011 | 21543579 |
