| phoma (peyronellaea) as zoopathogen. | two case reports add to the rare recorded instances of infection of man and other animals by phoma or phoma-like molds. phoma cava was consistently cultured from aural dermatitis of a white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus), and tissue sections of the ear revealed fragments of apparent pycnidial walls, as well as many septate hyphae. in the second instance, numerous phoma-like pycnidia occurred in and upon the hairs of a young child, in a lesion initiated by trichophyton infection. | 1975 | 1224289 |
| systematic reappraisal of species in phoma section paraphoma, pyrenochaeta and pleurophoma. | sequence data from the 18s nrdna (ssu) and 28s nrdna (lsu) regions of isolates of phoma section paraphoma were compared with those of representative isolates of the morphologically similar anamorph genera pleurophoma and pyrenochaeta and of the type species of phoma sections phoma, pilosa and plenodomus. phoma section paraphoma was found to be highly polyphyletic within the pleosporales and only distantly related to phoma section phoma. the genus paraphoma, which is based on paraphoma radicina, ... | 2010 | 20943506 |
| subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by phoma cava. report of a case and review of the literature. | we report a case of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis observed in a male patient presenting pulmonary sarcoidosis and submitted to corticosteroid treatment. he presented nodular erythematous-violaceous skin lesions in the dorsum of the right hand. histopathological examination of the biopsied lesion revealed dematiaceous hyphae and yeast-like cells, with a granulomatous tissual reaction. the isolated fungus was identified as phoma cava. a review of the literature on fungal infection caused by diffe ... | 1997 | 9394536 |
