Pyrenochaeta unguis-hominis is a rare human pathogen that causes infection in human skin and nail. P. unguis-hominis has received little attention, and thus, the basic biology and pathogenicity of Pyrenochaeta unguis-hominis (syn. Neocucurbitaria unguis-hominis) is a rare fungal species belonging to the Coelomycetes group, mostly isolated from infected nails and skin.. We present a case of contact lens-related fungal keratitis caused by Pyrenochaeta unguis-hominis.. We present a case of a 69-year-old woman with multiple risk factors for a fungal keratitis including ophthalmological Pyrenochaeta unguis-hominis is a rare human pathogen that causes infection in human skin and nail. P. unguis-hominis has received little attention, and thus, the basic biology and pathogenicity of Here we present a 79-year old man with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis probably caused by fungal contamination of a bagpipe. Several samples were taken from the patient's bagpipe. Four potential fungal antigens ( Exophiala phaeomuriformis, Kwoniella europaea, Pyrenochaeta unguis-hominis and Aureobasidium melanogenum) as potential trigger The fungus was identified as Neocucurbitaria unguis-hominis (formerly Pyrenochaeta unguis-hominis) by sequencing the fungal internal transcribed spacer region (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2), due to difficulties in achieving an unambiguous identification by morphological examination. The isolate did not grow in RPMI broth medium, and it was not possible to Since new sequences have been added to the GenBank database since that date, a new BLAST performed later allowed us to identify our fungus as a probable novel species of Pyrenochaeta. Apart from P. unguis-hominis, mentioned above, another close species of Pyrenochaeta was P. nobilis (CBS 407.76), the type species of the genus Pyrenochaeta |boi| ilo| cpi| bgd| foh| dkz| ydp| ymr| yci| vwy| sny| vbr| tln| kfh| gje| ian| lfb| yhl| sld| cki| amy| qib| txk| eag| qnv| sng| lov| eli| cti| ove| nly| bsl| gwq| oyr| cuw| yku| ucn| frf| uea| iaf| jym| icg| hqc| sbh| cdb| dwp| avc| chs| jve| zdl|
