The efficacy of systemic fluconazole treatment in fungal keratitis

Nine patients with fungal keratitis were treated with systemic fluconazole, which is a second generation triazole compound and has been proven to be an effective antifungal agent in experimental studies. The lesions healed with peroral 200 mg fluconazole per day, in a period of minimum 3, maximum 6 weeks. Neither a complication or any side-effect resulted from this therapy. One eye was eviscerated because of deteriorating infection and panophthalmitis. This is a pilot study investigating the efficacy of systemic fluconazole treatment in fungal keratitis, and we concluded that it is an effective alternative of antifungal treatment

Skin infection on both legs caused by Acremonium strictum (case report)

PubMed ID: 26506977Acremonium species are saprophytic molds widely distributed in nature, existing in soil and decaying vegetation. Penetrating wounds, intravascular catheters and immunosuppression are risk factors for invasive infections of Acremonium. The fungus can also cause cutaneous infections and mycetoma in the immunocompetent; such infections occur in extremities open to trauma. In this paper, a female patient with skin infection due to Acremonium strictum in both legs is described

Non-dermatophytic molds as agents of onychomycosis in Izmir, Turkey - A prospective study

9th Congress of the European-Confederation-of-Medical-Mycology/7th Trends in Invasive Fungal Infections -- SEP 28-OCT 01, 2003 -- AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDSWOS: 000187151600031The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of causative non-dermatophytic filamentous fungi in onychomycosis in Izmir, Turkey, July 2001-December 2002. Totally 83 0 samples of nail scrapings from 716 patients with presumptive onychomycosis were prospectively studied, making consecutive cultures from each patient 3 times, with a-week interval in between, using conventional mycological methods. Molds were detected in 25 (12%), yeasts in 97 (47%) and dermatophytes in 84 (41%). The molds, in order of frequency, were Aspergillus niger (7), Fusarium spp. (6), Ulocladium spp. (4), Acremonium spp. (2), sterile mycelia (2), Alternaria sp. (1), Aspergillus flavus (1), Cladosporium sp. (1), and Scopulariopsis sp. (1). Careful evaluation of "molds" in onychomycosis is very important for its implications in the management of the disease.European Confederat Med Myco
