Question
Answer
Subcutaneous mycoses 4 major infections   Mycetoma, Chromoblastomycosis, Phaeohyphomycosis, Sporotrichosis  
🗑
Common to all subcutaneous mycoses   Lesion develops at site of inoculation (localized); soil saprophytes that are moderately slow growers; most are dematiaceous fungi  
🗑
Types of conidiation seen in dematiaceous fungi   Cladosporium type, Phialophora type, Rhinocladiella type  
🗑
Cladosporium type conidiation   Resembles a tree, conidiophore is trunk and branched chains of conidia form branches  
🗑
Phialophora type conidiation   Short conidiophores + phialide, vase shaped, conidia extrude from phialide and then cluster  
🗑
Rhinocladiella type conidiation   Stalked conidiophores that become knobby as conidia are produced, conidia produced sequentially until a cladosporium type conidiation is reached  
🗑
Media used for identification of subcutaneous fungi   SAB with and without antibiotics; PDA for subculture  
🗑
Mycetoma   Chronic granulomatous disease of feet; enlarges nodules, sinus drainage, bone destruction; granules in exudate; no lymphatic system involvement  
🗑
Two types of granules in mycetoma   Actinomycotic(narrow hyphae) and Eumycotic(wide hyphae, ending in chlamydoconidia)  
🗑
Chromoblastomycosis   Localized disease of skin and subcutaneous tissue; wart-like (verrucoid) lesions on feet, legs, hands, buttocks; soil saphrophytes introduced by trauma; dematiacious  
🗑
Chromoblastomycosis - what is seen microscopically   Single celled or clusters of single cells, dark pigment  
🗑
Chromoblastomycosis - setting up for culture   SAB at room temp, hold for 6 weeks  
🗑
What are you looking for in chromoblastomycosis   3 types of conidiation: cladosporium type, rhionocladiella type, phialophora type  
🗑
Phaeohyphomycosis   Infection of subcutaneous tissue, caused by misc. dematiaceous fungi, introduced through trauma  
🗑
Phaeohyphomycosis - KOH shows   Pigmented hyphae  
🗑
Cause of chromoblastomycosis   Cladophialophora carrioinii  
🗑
Cladophialophora carrioinii macro   Slow grower - up to 30 days; grey-green to black surface and reverse, cottony  
🗑
Cladophialophora carrioinii micro   Pigmented, septate hyphae; cladosporium type conidiation  
🗑
Causes chromoblastomycosis and phaeohyphomycosis   Fonsecaea pedrosoi and Phialophora verrucosa  
🗑
Fonsecaea pedrosoi macro   Grey-green to black, cottony; slow grower, w/in 21 days  
🗑
Fonsecaea pedrosoi micro   Pigmented, spetate hyphae; all 3 types of conidiation: phialophora, cladosporium, rhinocladiella  
🗑
Phialophora verrucosa macro   Olive-green to black, velvety  
🗑
Phialophora verrucosa micro   Pigmented, septate hyphae; only phialophora type conidiation  
🗑
Major etiologic agent of mycetoma in US and Europe   Pseudallescheria boydii  
🗑
Pseudallescheria boydii macro   Grows rapidly; white to brownish-grey, fluffy  
🗑
Pseudallescheria boydii micro   Hyaline, septate hyphae; single anelloconidia produced on an anellophore (conidiophore)  
🗑
How is Pseudallescheria boydii different from other subcutaneous mycoses   Grows rapidly, hyaline, has a sexual form  
🗑
Cause of Mycetoma and phaehyphomycosis by minor trauma and contaminated fomites   Exophiala jeanselmei  
🗑
Exophiala jeanselmei macro   Young cultures: appear as black yeast; Mature cultures: velvety colonies  
🗑
Exophiala jeanselmei micro   Stick-like conidiophores with clustered conidia  
🗑
Wangiella dermatitidis causes   phaeohyphomycosis  
🗑
Wangiella dermatitidis macro   Initially resembles black yeast; > 10days, olive-grey to black, velvety or glabrous; grows better at 40-42C  
🗑
Wangiella dermatitidis micro   Pigmented, septate hyphae; conidiophores are indistinguishable from vegetative hyphae except conidia are clustered at ends  
🗑
Acremonium spp cause   Etiologic agent of mycetomas, corneal infections, and nail infections  
🗑
Madurella grisea macro   Folded in center with radial grooves, dark grey to olive-brown, reverse dark  
🗑
Madurella grisea micro   Dark, thick hyphae; other structures may be absent  
🗑
Madurella mycetomatis macro   Slow growing, fluffy white, grows best at 37C, reverse dark  
🗑
Madurella mycetomatis micro   Dark, thick hyphae, other structures may be absent, some have tiny flask-shaped phialides  
🗑
