| saksenaea erythrospora infection following combat trauma. | saksenaea erythrospora is a newly described species of the order mucorales which has not previously been reported as a cause of human infection. we report a fatal case of s. erythrospora invasive burn wound infection in a 26-year-old male injured during combat operations in iraq. | 2011 | 21865421 |
| molecular phylogeny and proposal of two new species of the emerging pathogenic fungus saksenaea. | saksenaea is a monotypic genus belonging to the order mucorales and capable of producing severe human infections. through a polyphasic study based on analysis of the sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (its) region, domains d1 and d2 of the 28s rrna gene, and the elongation factor 1α (ef-1α) gene, as well as by evaluation of relevant morphological and physiological characteristics of a set of clinical and environmental strains, we have demonstrated that saksenaea vasiformis is a complex ... | 2010 | 20926710 |
| saksenaea erythrospora, an emerging mucoralean fungus causing severe necrotizing skin and soft tissue infections - a study from a tertiary care hospital in north india(). | saksenaea erythrospora is an emerging and recently described pathogenic fungus mainly causing invasive cutaneous infections. globally, very few human cases, caused by s. erythrospora, have been reported. in india, among the genus saksenaea, s. vasiformis was the only reported pathogenic species, until recently when a case of fungal rhinosinusitis was reported to be caused by s. erythrospora. we observed five human cases of necrotizing skin and soft tissue infections caused by s. erythrospora fol ... | 2017 | 27701965 |
| saksenaea erythrospora infection after medical tourism for esthetic breast augmentation surgery. | mucormycosis caused by saksenaea erythrospora is rarely reported in humans. three previous cases have been reported in the literature, two associated with trauma (a sailing accident in argentina and a combat trauma in iraq) and one as a cause of invasive rhinosinusitis (india), all in immunocompetent patients . the first case of mucormycosis following esthetic surgery, associated with medical tourism, is reported herein. | 2016 | 27267577 |
| in utero infection of a calf by saksenaea erythrospora resulting in neonatal abomasitis and dermatitis. | saksenaea erythrospora is a filamentous fungus belonging to the order mucorales. cases of cutaneous mucormycosis caused by saksenaea spp. have previously been reported in immunocompetent and immunosuppressed people. a premature, 1-day-old bull calf from texas with numerous plaque-like and ulcerative lesions in the skin was found at necropsy to have multiple areas of mycotic dermatitis and abomasitis. fungal culture of the skin followed by morphological characterization and genetic analysis ident ... | 2012 | 22786975 |
| saksenaea erythrospora infection following a serious sailing accident. | saksenaea erythrospora is a species of the order mucorales recently described and reported as a cause of human mucormycosis. we report a case of s. erythrospora in a man involved in a serious sailing accident causing deep skin and soft tissue contamination with soil and water. direct microscopic examination of the clinical sample with giemsa stains showed hyaline and non-septate hyphae belonging to the order mucorales. fungal identification was performed by culture of biopsy material on sda, and ... | 2014 | 24298050 |
