| mycetoma in somalia - results of a survey done from 1959 to 1964. | the pasteur institute studied 103 mycetoma patients in somalia between 1959 and 1964. grains were seen in 94 of them and this, added to cultural features, allowed the diagnosis of 60 pathogens as follows: 44 madurella mycetomi, 1 leptosphaeria senegalensis, 7 pyrenochaeta romeroi (or madurella grisea), 3 allescheria boydii, 1 fusarium sp., 3 neotestudina (zopfia) rosatii, and 1 unidentified; 34 were actinomycetes: 24 streptomyces somaliensis, 4 actinomadura madurae, 3 a. pelletieri and 3 nocardi ... | 1977 | 23657 |
| [opportunistic fungi as producers of gray colonies and mycetomata]. | madurella grisea mackinnon, ferrada and montemayor, 1949, is not the unique species that produces gray colonies and black-grained mycetomata. perhaps, it is not one species, because its grains and colonies may be confounded with those of several species that can be distinguished through their fertile structures. i take this opportunity to compare some characters of pyrenochaeta romeroi, phoma-phillosticta sp., chaetosphaeronema larense, pyrenochaeta mackinnonii, plendomus avramii and of another ... | 1979 | 385381 |

| molecular identification of melanised non-sporulating moulds: a useful tool for studying the epidemiology of phaeohyphomycosis. | subcutaneous infections caused by melanised fungi have been increasingly reported among transplant patients, and these infections have the potential for blood and visceral dissemination. some moulds, such as mycelia sterilia, cannot grow and sporulate on different media, making their identification impossible by conventional methods. the fast and accurate identification of melanised fungi at the species level is important because species may have tropism to different organs and different suscept ... | 2013 | 23288581 |
| revision of agents of black-grain eumycetoma in the order pleosporales. | eumycetoma is a chronic fungal infection characterised by large subcutaneous masses and the presence of sinuses discharging coloured grains. the causative agents of black-grain eumycetoma mostly belong to the orders sordariales and pleosporales. the aim of the present study was to clarify the phylogeny and taxonomy of pleosporalean agents, viz. madurella grisea, medicopsis romeroi (syn.: pyrenochaeta romeroi), nigrograna mackinnonii (syn. pyrenochaeta mackinnonii), leptosphaeria senegalensis, l. ... | 2014 | 25737597 |
