| scopulariopsosis and hypersensitivity pneumonitis in an addict. | granulomatosis caused by fungal spores of a soil saprophyte is a newly recognized pulmonary complication of intravenous drug addiction. brown, non-budding spores were histologically identified in necrotic tissue, inside giant cells of sarcoidlike granulomata, and in the vicinity of focal angiitic lesions. the fungus was identified by culture as the dematiaceous scopulariopsis brumptii. cultural and histopathologic studies of lung biopsy specimens established the diagnosis. we showed precipitatin ... | 1975 | 1080974 |
| 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 |

| hydrothorax in association with scopulariopsis brumptii in an aids patient in chennai, india. | over the past decade, an increasing number of opportunistic fungal infections have been reported in immunocompromised subjects. microascus spp. and their anamorphs scopulariopsis spp. have been recovered from a wide geographical range. we report a case of scopulariopsis brumptii in a 27-year-old man with aids presenting with breathlessness, pericardial effusion and hydrothorax in chennai, southern india, in february 2007. because of respiratory arrest, the patient was intubated. however, the pat ... | 2007 | 17964623 |
| morphological evidence for keratinolytic activity of scopulariopsis spp. isolates from nail lesions and the air. | the morphological expression of human hair and nail invasion in vitro by 31 isolates of nine scopulariopsis species was studied by light microscopy on whole material and on semi-thin sections, as well as by transmission electron microscopy. only some isolates of scopulariopsis brumptii, s. candida, s. carbonaria and s. koningii were keratinolytically active. they came either from nail lesions or from outdoor aerosols. the most active isolate belonged to s. koningii and was recovered from a finge ... | 2001 | 11446533 |
| biodegradation of pyrene by sediment fungi. | micromycetes were isolated from pahs-contaminated sediment and identified. they were investigated for pyrene degradation (10 mg l-1) in liquid synthetic medium for two days. among the 41 strains isolated, 10 highly degraded pyrene (> 2.4 mg g-1 dry weight): two zygomycetes (mucor racemosus, m. racemosus var. sphaerosporus), 6 deuteromycetes (gliocladium virens, penicillium simplicissimum, p. janthinellum, phialophora alba, p. hoffmannii, trichoderma harzianum), a dematiaceae (scopulariopsis brum ... | 2000 | 10665394 |
| in vitro susceptibility of fungi to acyclic inhibitors of 2,3-oxidosqualene cyclases. | in the present study we determine the antifungal properties of two acyclic inhibitors of 2,3-oxidosqualene cyclases: 22,23-epoxy-2-aza-2,3-dihydrosqualene (eas) and azasqualene alcohol (asa). fungistatic and fungicidal activity towards dermatophytes and other fungi involved in cutaneous and systemic infections was tested (48 isolates from 10 species). the tests were carried out by inoculating 10 microliters of mycelial homogenate in 1 ml of sabouraud glucose liquid medium containing serial dilut ... | 1996 | 8786759 |
| growing incidence of cutaneous and ungual infections by non-dermatophyte fungi at jabalpur (m.p.). | a random survey of skin and nail infections was done at jabalpur (m.p.). out of the 80 suspected cases 60 were culture positive. out of these 25 were of dermatophyte infection followed by 21 cases of phaeohyphomycosis, 7 of aspergillosis, 4 of hyalohyphomycosis, 2 of mixed infection in which a non-dermatophyte was associated with a dermatophyte and 1 had yeast infection. trichophyton rubrum was the only dermatophyte isolated. among the non-dermatophyte infections cases of alternaria chlamydospor ... | 1993 | 8276472 |
| onychomycosis caused by scopulariopsis brumptii. a case report and sensitivity studies. | scopulariopsis brumptii was isolated from nail lesions in left hand of a 42 year-old-farmer. the direct microscopic examination of the nail samples revealed light brown, septate, branched fungal hyphae along with thick-walled spherical cells. the histopathological examination showed involvement of internal phase of the nail plate. amongst the antimycotics tested against s. brumptii 'in vitro' oxiconazole was found to be the most active with mic value of 10 micrograms/ml-1. this report documents ... | 1991 | 1829791 |
