Post Cesarean Surgical Site Infection With Mycobacterium Abscessus Sp. Massiliense.

Surgical site infections (SSIs) owing to nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) have emerged as an important cause of hospital-acquired SSI leading to great morbidity and mortality. Among NTM, is reported in these sites. Epidemiology and transmission of in humans is noticing crux changes.

First report of keratitis susceptible to voriconazole in an Indian mango grower.

The family comprises cosmopolitan endophytic fungi and many of the genera have frequently been implicated in causing human infections, including subcutaneous infection, sinusitis, invasive mycoses and keratitis. Among them, the genus , which contains >30 species, is grouped as coelomycetous fungi with prototype species as an important cause of keratitis. Several cryptic species morphologically resembling exist, one of which is .

Mycosis of the Plantar Surface of Foot Owing to Nondermatophyte Mold Nodulisporium griseobrunneum Mimicking a Tinea Pedis.

Nondermatophyte molds (NDM) and dematiaceous molds are less frequently implicated as the etiological agents of tinea-like infections of the foot. Among the etiological agents, Hendersonula toruloidea (now, Nattrassia mangiferae), Scytalidium hyalinum, Alternaria species (spp.), and Fusarium spp.

MIC and Upper Limit of Wild-Type Distribution for 13 Antifungal Agents against a Trichophyton mentagrophytes-Trichophyton interdigitale Complex of Indian Origin.

Dermatophytosis due to the complex is being increasingly reported across India. Reports of therapeutic failure have surfaced recently, but there are no clinical break points (CBP) or epidemiological cutoffs (ECVs) available to guide the treatment of dermatophytosis. In this study, a total of 498 isolates of the complex were collected from six medical centers over a period of five years (2014 to 2018).

Naive tinea corporis et cruris in an Immunocompetent adult caused by a geophile susceptible to TerbinafineRarity in the current scenario of Dermatophytosis in India.

Introduction: Dermatophytosis caused by formerly is rare in occurrence due to its geophilic adaptation and weak pathogenic potential in establishing infection in humans. The taxonomical status of has been controversial over the years and has now reached a concordance among mycologists. Innumerable reports of causing widespread infection in human immunodeficiency virus patients trails them as an important agent of consideration in an immunocompromised host.

Distal Lateral Subungual Onychomycosis Owing to Tritirachium oryzae: A Bystander or Invader?

The genus Tritirachium is a mitosporic fungus which inhabits in soil and decaying plant material and also a notable insect pathogen. Human infections with Tritirachium species though rare were previously reported to cause corneal ulcers, otomycosis, onychomycosis, and dermatomycosis of the scalp and hence may be considered as a potential pathogen. Here we report a case of distal lateral subungual onychomycosis involving right great toenail in a 22-year-old female, wherein direct potassium hydroxide preparations, fungal cultures, and molecular sequencing of the isolate established Tritirachium oryzae as the etiological agent.
