Preservation methods in isolates of Sporothrix characterized by polyphasic appr...
de Souza Rabello, Vanessa Brito; Corrêa-Moreira, Danielly; Santos, Cledir; Abreu Pinto, Tatiana Casto; Procopio-Azevedo, Anna Carolina; Boechat, JéssicaSporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis with worldwide distribution and caused by eight pathogenic species of the Sporothrix genus. Different ex situ preservation methods are used around the world to maintain the survival, morphophysiological and genetic traits of fungal strains isolated from patients with sporotrichosis for long terms. The main aim of the present study was to evaluate the survival, phenotypic...

Mixed infection by Histoplasma capsulatum isolates with different mating types ...
Damasceno, Lisandra Serra; Vite-Garín, Tania; Ramírez, José Antonio; Rodríguez-Arellanes, Gabriela; Almeida, Marcos Abreu de; Muniz, Mauro de MedeirosMixed infection by Histoplasma capsulatum isolates with different mating types, in AIDS‑patients are described in this study. Morphological, mating type-specific PCR assay and multilocus sequencing type analysis of H. capsulatum isolates recovered from two Brazilian AIDS‑patients were performed. Five H. capsulatum isolates were recovered at different times from the two patients. Three isolates were obtained fro...

Bezerra, Fabrícia Salvador; Zancopé-Oliveira, Rosely Maria; Brilhante, Raimunda Sâmia Nogueira; Wanke, Bodo; Mota, Rosa Maria SalaniBackground. Disseminated histoplasmosis is common in AIDS patients with advanced immunosuppression in Ceará, Northeastern Brazil. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of Histoplasma infection in patients with HIV/AIDS living in Fortaleza, the capital of Ceará. Methods. Intradermal tests with histoplasmin (mycelial phase) were performed in 161 HIV patients with CD4 ≥ 350 cells/mm3. Evidence of ...
Cladophialophora carrionii: a rare agent of chromoblastomycosis in Rio de Janei...
Mouchalouat, Marcelle de F.; Galhardo, Maria Clara G.; Fialho, Paulo Cezar Monteiro; Coelho, Janice Mery C. de Oliveira; Zancopé-Oliveira, Rosely MariaA 73 year-old male farm laborer from a rural area presented a 15 year history of extensive tumoral lesions over his left leg. Histological studies of skin biopsy showed pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia and granulomatous chronic inflammatory process with muriform cells, confirming chromoblastomycosis (CBM). Cladophialophora carrionii was isolated in culture. Treatment with itraconazole 400 mg/day for 12 months ...
