| isolation of keratinophilic fungi from selected soils of sanjay gandhi national park, mumbai (india). | one hundred and twenty-five samples were collected from eight different sites in the vicinity of sanjay gandhi national park (sgnp) and screened for the presence of keratinophilic fungi using hair baiting technique for isolation. seventy-three isolates were recovered and identified. the cultures were identified using macro- and micro-morphological features. their identification was also confirmed by the blast search of sequences of the its1-5.8s-its2 rdna region against the ncbi/genbank data and ... | 2014 | 25442920 |
| pulmonary colonization by chrysosporium zonatum associated with allergic inflammation in an immunocompetent subject. | we report a case of noninvasive pulmonary disease due to chrysosporium zonatum in an immunocompetent male. the fungus colonized an existing tuberculous cavity and was isolated from transbronchial lavage fluid and from a percutaneous aspiration specimen. the disease was accompanied by the unusual feature of an allergic reaction. the fungus ball was successfully treated by intracavitary administration of amphotericin b. c. zonatum is the anamorph of the heterothallic ascomycete uncinocarpus orissi ... | 2002 | 11880456 |

| keratinophilic fungi recovered from muddy soil in cairo vicinities, egypt. | one hundred samples of muddy soil were collected from seven areas in the vicinity of cairo and screened for the presence of keratinophilic fungi by using hair baiting isolation technique. forty isolates of keratinophilic fungi were recovered and identified by recognition of their cultures, macro- and micromorphological features. their physiological and molecular characteristics were studied by determination of their ubiquinone (coenzyme q) composition and dna sequences of (its1-5.8s-its2) and 18 ... | 2005 | 16205974 |
| disseminated infection due to chrysosporium zonatum in a patient with chronic granulomatous disease and review of non-aspergillus fungal infections in patients with this disease. | we report the first case of chrysosporium zonatum infection in a 15-year-old male with chronic granulomatous disease who developed a lobar pneumonia and tibia osteomyelitis while on prophylaxis with gamma interferon. the fungus was isolated from sputum and affected bone, and hyphae were observed in the bone by histopathology. therapy with amphotericin b eradicated the osteomyelitis and pneumonia, but pneumonia recurred in association with pericarditis and pleuritis during therapy with itraconazo ... | 1999 | 9854057 |
| keratinophilic fungi from selected soils of bahrain. | eighty soil samples were collected from various sites of bahrain and screened for presence of keratinophilic fungi using hair baiting techniques for isolation. thirty-six isolates were recovered and identified. the cultures were identified using macro- and micromorphological features. their identification was also confirmed by the blast search of sequences of its1-5.8s-its2 rdna region against the ncbi/gene bank data and compared with deposited sequences for confirmation. eight species of five g ... | 2008 | 17932786 |
| a case of adiaspiromycosis causing respiratory failure and a review of human infections due to the fungi emmonsia and chrysosporium. | we report a case of a 27 year-old male who presented with respiratory distress that required mechanical ventilation. transbronchial biopsy revealed adiaspores of the fungus emmonsia crescens within granulomata, a condition known as adiaspiromycosis. the patient received amphotericin products and corticosteroids, followed by itraconazole, and made a full recovery. emmonsia crescens is a saprobe with a wide distribution that is primarily a rodent pathogen. the clinical characteristics of the 20 ca ... | 2012 | 22259200 |
