Diagnosis of sporotrichosis in a donkey using direct fluorescein-labeled antibody testing.A 4-year-old female donkey residing in an open field in Indiana was admitted for evaluation of facial lesions of 2 years duration. Cytologic and histologic examination of exudate and tissue from the lesions ...
Therefore, a careful, thorough history is essential in order to reach a proper diagnosis. We provide up-to-date epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic data on the three most important imported subcutaneous mycoses in Europe: chromoblastomycosis, sporotrichosis and mycetoma. 展开 ...
the in vitro susceptibility testing by a microdilution reference method was determined against azoles, amphotericin B and terbinafine.Fungal culture and sequence analysis of the ITS region of rDNA and calmodulin and 尾-tubulin genes confirmed the diagnosis and the causative agent as Sporothrix brasilien...
History of trauma through recreational or occupational exposure to the fungus may assist in making the diagnosis. Treatment is difficult, with long-term use of potentially nephrotoxic and cytochrome P450 inhibitor antifungal agents leading to potential calcineurin inhibitors toxicity. We describe two ...
A subsequent course of oral antifungal therapy with low dosage of itraconazole was well tolerated and resolved the infection. Conclusions Identification of fungal species and antifungal susceptibility testing are mandatory for epidemiological and therapeutic reasons. Early diagnosis of sporotrichosis is ...
The diagnosis was confirmed by culturing Sporothrix schenkii and demonstration of thermal dimorphism. Pathogenicity testing in mice lead to orchitis in 12–15 days and the organism was re-isolated in pure culture. The patient was treated with oral saturated potassium iodide solution with complete ...
